The Canadian
A Complete, Limited-Edition Train
in HO Scale
This will be the first complete model of The Canadian ever produced in ready-to-run plastic,
including the first ever 100% accurate model of Canada's unique FP9 locomotive. All other
FP9 models out there are really FP7s in disguise...
Each limited edition train features TWO sound-equipped FP9A locomotives and TEN
glorious Budd passenger cars. Included in each numbered box is a coupon redeemable for
one FREE unpowered F9B locomotive. The Canadian features all-new, super-detailed
tooling from headlights to marker lamps.
As you recall we were over a year late delivering the TurboTrain, so I'm not taking any
chances - delivery of The Canadian is in early 2010, over a year away. I decided to
announce it now to coincide with Model Railroader magazine's 75th anniversary issue.
The production run will be strictly limited to 2000 trains or less, divided into six consists.
Once we have orders for 2000 trains, the order desk will close. So even if we sell out in a
month, we will not make more than 2000 sets. The Canadian can be reserved with your
dealer on a first-come, first-served basis. Once they're gone, they're gone for good.
Complete train is $1350.00

Ten Budd-built Passenger Cars
Fully Ready-To-Run
Super-detailed underbodies, trucks and interiors
All steam, air and electrical lines
New, all-metal MacDonald-Cartier Couplers (TM)
All grab irons installed at the factory
Working diaphragms and etched-metal end gates
Smooth Stainless Steel finish
Full interior and dome lighting
Illuminated drumhead and marker lamps on the Park Car
3D "Beaver" heralds on each car (in maroon schemes)
100% accurate for CPR and VIA
Canadian Pacific's 1953 order was for seven different car styles, and we're doing all of
them:
Baggage-Dormitory
60-Seat Coach
SKYLINE Buffet Dome Coach
48-Seat Diner
4 Section, 8 Roomette, 3 Bedroom, 1 Drawing Room CHATEAU Sleeper
4 Section, 6 Roomette, 5 Bedroom, 1 Compartment MANOR Sleeper
3 Bedroom, 1 Drawing Room PARK Dome Lounge Sleeper
The Canadian will also include an extra Coach, an extra Chateau Sleeper and an extra
Manor Sleeper for a total of TEN CARS. These cars will feature the same insane level of
detail as our Super Continental Line passenger cars. We are currently looking at different
plating methods to get the perfect stainless steel finish. I ride The Canadian all the time
and I want to make sure the feel is perfect. This is a very subjective thing, so I hope that
you like our final take on it.
In answer to the question on many people's minds, we won't be doing the U-series
heavyweight tourist sleepers at this time. When we expand into heavyweight cars, that will
be on our list of priorities.
