Well if you plan on doing the CN and the CP...for the 80s you are going to want SD50F and SD60F models (wide body draper taper versions of the SD50 and SD60). Dash8-40CMs (wide body draper taper versions of the Dash8). Standard SD40-2s (remember the CP Rail had over 500 SD40-2s at one point). SD40-2Ws (CNs wide cab SD40-2s). You can get most anything CP Rail from a hobbyshop and do some minimal changes and have it prototypical. But to do most of the CN stuff you are gonna have to work at it. TO get prototypical CN stuff visit www.kasloshops.com These are very high qulaity resin kits, i have several of them myself...but i WOULD NOT recommend these for beginners. <br /> <br />You are also going to want some MLW power M630 and M636s for the CP rail and C630Ms and M636s for the CN...as well as the Wide body (Post Bombardier buyout) HR616 locomotives...i have models of all of these but they are in Brass as you cannot get them in plastic or in a resin kit. However i speak regularly to John Gurdak the owner of Kaslo and he said they are in the works...as well as a complete kit of the GE Dash8-40CM. <br /> <br />Anything else you wanna know just ask.
