Howdy; Let me drop an email to the guy who sent me the 1325 Montreal photos along with a link to this site, and see what he says. Now, if only the police will let me out of my street! Have fun - David Notarius, London (Hackney - East London) Uk
Hi everyone - Just a quick note, Not only did the Canadian National run boxcab electrics, MU's and the 4-6-4t in comuter service out of Montreal , but also regular H class 4-6-0's and various pacifics. Has anyone ever done a CNR book on Montreal? Dave
Hello David---hope you're safe with all the craziness going on.You may want to contact Barry Greene (<!-- e --><a href="mailto:bgreene339@aol.com">bgreene339@aol.com</a><!-- e -->).He is the photo librarian from the Canadian National Railways Historical Assosciation.I do not know him personally but I am a member of the CNRHA.
Here's some more CNR 4-6-0 goodies:

Hi everyone, I found these two photos of S Scale H6's that I'd thought may be of interest. They are built by Simon Parent for Trevor Marshall. Simon creates his own kits - castings and etchings - then builds them for others modelers. They were found on the "Model Railway Show" Facebook page. <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.facebook.com/modelrailwayshow">http://www.facebook.com/modelrailwayshow</a><!-- m --> I'll see if I can track down an address and if he's doing HO parts or kits. Also, the is a rumor that Athearn will be bringing out the old Roundhouse / MDC Harriman 4-6-0, 2-6-2, 4-4-2, & 2-8-0 kits again as ready to run with an updated drive, DCC/Sound ready, & details. I've seen these models used as a stand-in after a bit of re-detailing for almost believable CNR 4-6-0's & 2-8-0's. Not exact boilers or tenders, but they can look very Canadian with some work. Have fun - Dave

There are also copies on amazon.ca starting at CAN$100.
I just checked: Firefly now owns Boston Mills Press but Keep em rolling isn't listed.

Most modellers can get two of them to work.
