RAPIDO VIA CANADA F40PH-2D
I received a great Christmas present this year. Rapido's True North Locomotives VIA CANADA F40PH-2D. Took it out of the box and ran it through its features. It was absolutely awesome. This locomotive is prototypically correct and has amazing detail. I have been waiting for this model for years. Enjoy. An AMTRAK version is in production from what I have heard.

In this video sequence I visit with Greg Stubbings in Winchester Ontario. He has built an HO Scale Railway depicting the Canadian National Railway during the steam days circa October 1957. The operation centers on Lindsay station and yard as well as the subdivisions that eminate from this Division Point. He describes the build, the history and passion for this exciting train era and conducts some of the operations his railroad offers. Enjoy.
