CP Work Train

A portion of a work train is seen in the Woodstock, Ontario CP yard.

Dick Walker has been working on his CP work train during the past few years. He mentioned this as his covid era project and sent me some photos of what he has completed. They are great looking models that will surely find a home waiting service in his Woodstock, Ontario yard. The following are his comments...George Dutka 

"I used Kaslo Shops resin kits as I had a few of them in my stock, and also because they have the correct 5-foot doors for the CP cars. Another great feature while using these kits, for boarding car conversions the doors are separate parts allowing one a choice of wood or steel doors. This also eliminates the chore of cutting out cast-on doors from other models offered that emulate the CP. My CP water tender is a Samhongsa brass D10 tender."

Black Cat makes two different decal sets for CP work, or non-revenue equipment, including cabooses, flangers, plows, etc. In the future I hope to add a couple of double-sheathed work cars.

The rolling stock doors are not used. The opening is closed in and a regular structure door is added.

On this service boxcar a steel door was applied. Some nice lower weathering has been applied. This type of car would have been used to carry lubricants and tools for the work gang.
