Hi !
I'm from Austria and I'm fascinated from CP-Railroad. Have anyone a typical CP-Railroad trackplan ?

Here is a wealth of information about the CPR. There's a track map on there too. Hope it helps! CP Rail and CSX are my 2 favorites!
Hey Buzuki,
Welcome to the forum! I model Canadian Pacific as well--always good to find a fellow CPR fan. What kind of operations are you interested in? The CPR had everything from mountain mainline to rustic branch lines to inter-city high speed passenger operation. If there's a particular locale or operation that you are interested in, it may help you find a prototype track diagram or draw up your own plans. I've often thought that the main line through the Kicking Horse Pass would make an ideal layout--the hidden curves we always hide in tunnels have a prototype in the Spiral Tunnels!
Welcome,
Here is a site that details the CPR roster both past and current...

Indeed!

Absolutely! I'm glad I had the opportunity to see them when I was vacationing in BC and AB in August 2001.
