I've been to Calgary several times and while CP and Soo are pretty much the main engines that you will find, there also could be lease units. These are engines that railroads rent from a leasing company and you do see these on CP often. The most common are CEFX. There's also HLCX, though. Below are examples of the CEFX units that I often see on CP. Unfortunately, I don't think there are any models made of them, but I'm not sure. Someone on here ought to know.

CP has some F units in their old maroon and grey paint scheme that they use to pull their Royal Canadian Pacific excursion train as well as other special runs. The home base for these engines is Calgary. They also have GP38-2 3084 as well as a Fairbanks-Morse C-Liner that are in this paint scheme and are also stored in Calgary.
