CP passenger sets, locomotives etc.

DirtyRam

Good day from Toronto, I have some observations on the CP passenger sets.

The lettering on the CPR 1955 set has VIA numbers, they should be the same as the CP set. Coach - 100 series, etc.

CP never had F7As they used FP7As, FP9As. Your new CP 4037 has the proper FP7A shape. The only visable difference between the FP7s and FP9s is the louvre set in front of the first window and the cab door hand grab. The space between the rear of the front truck and the battery boxes is where they hung a long range water tank.
On the passenger power, ( 1400s ) FP7s and FP9s, had the water tanks, ice racks, hi vis roof beacon, etc.

The passenger geeps ( 8500s ) you did are great, any chance for the original block lettering and multimark 3in? thin stripes. We called them Candy Stripers back in the 70s.

I, also have a question about the CNs Super Continentials rear Observation cars. Did they not get those from the MILW Hiawatha Skytop obs.

Thank you for your great sets, updates, etc.
