Yes those would be nice as well.It might be a bit of a wait though as I waited three years for Bowser to ship me six trolley poles which are supposedly a regular stock item for them.At one point before the Bowser take over Stewart was going to do the entire Canadian locomotives as well,including the wide cabbed BC units.Time will tell.Stewart had the pre-pro shells at the last Springfield show I went to,which was the year the first C628's came out.

I prefer the CP one's as well,but I'm also an Alcophile so it's a win win reguardless what the real RR's do.I'm kind of hoping that they do the factory built chop noses as well that BC Rail and the Quebec minning roads had as well.

Hey David

  Did they say when ? I can't wait either. I'm guessing just CP Rail units for now ?

I haven't seen the announcement yet,but hopefully it's true. haven't noticed anything on Truelines web page either. I know that when the RS18's first came out it was the intention to do the chopnoses,The CP ones and the factory ones ( BC rail Roberville & Saguney etc )They were concidering doing the six axled RSC14 rebuilds as well back when Lifelike Canada first started the project as well. Here's hoping it happens.

Just in:

I was told at the NMRA convention, they announced a run of RS18u with and without DCC. Does anyone know any more details?
