Canadian Pacific 2-8-0 Kitbash

Matt---excellent work---I'm very glad you have joined Big Blue to share your skills and inspiration to us wanna-be modellers.Any chance you have a Canadian National steamer in your future plans

Coming from you, no surprise!!! Eheheh!!! As you may know, I'm more into CNR than CPR. In fact, I'm proposing myself to turn a President Choice Hudson into the real thing. I don't know when I'll start working on it. I've started to explore some ways to bash it and Wayne gave me some technical tips for the banjo frame. Most work will involve making a all weather cab and rebuilding the tender (I won't use a Spectrum Hicken tenders, doesn't feel like the real thing. Half IHC tender is good, so I'll start from there.)

But before that, I've got a CP Rail FA+B+A set to finish, #144, a CPR H16-44 and a dozen of cars to paint and decal with CDS transfer to boost up my CNR fleet. And just got an email from a club member urging me to work on the Bunge grain elevator (good thing I came across the excellent thread about grain elevators here). As you can see, Montmorency Locomotive Works is in big business!

Also, the new Bachmann Mogul seems to be a promising engine to kitbash. Just need to find a suitable prototype class to start from. I must admit I didn't do my research on that...
