Bachmann DCC Sound on board 2-6-0

Thanks for your info Wayne... It will be useful for many of us. Very interesting to see how moguls (and small steamers) were a large part of early CNR, inherited from old railways. In this respect, it makes following a specific prototype a matter of personnal choice. On this respect, I'm always surprised how few people in Canada model the original Grand Trunk (not the american subsidiary).

I didn't know about #21 background story. It didn't last long on QRL&P and was replaced by the late 1920s with #22 (the only brandnew steamer they ever got for interchange work were electric steeples couldn't go (mainly transfering passing-through CNR trains up to Saint-Joachim). I once kitbashed a static display of it (and out of scale) from a Mantua 4-6-0... Issshhh... One of my early attempts I never dare to show in public!

BTW, a gentleman recently knocked to my door and gave me a copy of a panoramic picture showing olf QRL&P boxcars being loaded at the local brick plants. He's a nephew of a guy that helpsed me this spring digging in the local archives. He heard about me and decided to pay a visit. I should be able to resume the project 5 custom boxcars in a near future...
