Canadian Pacific’s lightweight baggage and express cars in the 4200- and 4700-series were built in 1940 and 1947-50, and in 1952-3 respectively. They ran in mainline trains throughout the system until 1978, when the passenger service was transferred to Via Rail. A number of these cars have continued in work train service to the present. In 1973, BC Rail purchased CP 4727 for its Royal Hudson excursion train, where it ran until recently. The present castings were developed from photos and field measurements of BCR Prince George (ex-CP 4727) at Squamish, BC in 1997 and of CP 4224 at the Revelstoke Railway Museum in 1999. This kit is available in Premium format only. The Premium Kits are "complete" resin kits. They come with comprehensive instructions and data, decals, trucks, brake gear parts, and all other materials required to complete the model except couplers. The only other components required for the models are glue, couplers, paint and decal-setting solution. Price: $85.00 CDN - plus shipping |
