[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by siberianmo I have a copy of the Special Issue of Classic Trains in front of me. The cover features "The Canadian" in maroon/grey livery with the beaver herald. The story inside is good reading and provides lots of insight with regard to the history of this fine train. Run - don't walk - to your local hobby shop (LHS as so many like to point out) and get one before they are all gone. About the only thing I found 'wrong' with the story is one picture of CP Rail's version of "The Canadian" at Moran'ts Curve. That "action red" just doesn't do it for me - I prefer the original colors every time. Other than that - well worth the money for the issue. See you again? Hope so![:D][tup] [/quote] I got that issue when it first came out. Reading that article is what inspired me to take to Canadian this summer and go from dreaming to doing. I definetly agree with you on what paint scheme looks best! I've always prefered CP's old maroon and grey, although I don't really mind action red either. It's too bad that they don't still have F units pulling the Canadian. Still, I suppose that F40PH's are becoming something of a rarity themselves on North American railways, as Amtrak retired all of there's a couple years ago.
