Back in the spring Roger Chrysler was working the WOD-NMRA Craftsman Corner. He had brought along his fleet of Accurail 36' boxcars converted into CP work cars. I found them very interesting to view. Thought I would give you a peek at them too...sorry all views are with my phone...George Dutka
Welcome, follow along with George Dutka in his journal which documents the additions and future thoughts for the HO scale White River Division model railroad and to his continuing historical New England railroad research. The White River Division is now in its 19th modeler's season. The "modeler's season" runs from November to April each year. Inspiration comes from the Boston and Maine, Rutland and Central Vermont Railway during the 1950's with extra posts by Don Janes and Keith MacCauley.

Those CP Service cars are beauties! Trying to use 40-foot cars for these (Model Power cars I tried come to mind) just does not result in the right look. Though a lot of modellers think the Service fleet was full of one-offs and anything goes, I think CP had an excellent sense of sweating the assets and had plans for repurposing revenue cars into Service use.
