Title: 44 tonner as CN #1?
Post by: chrismears on June 01, 2013, 05:13:57 AM
Good morning. I found this listing on your website:
http://shop.bachmanntrains.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=258_288_309&products_id=4779 (http://shop.bachmanntrains.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=258_288_309&products_id=4779)

The page describes your HO scale 44 tonner decorated as Canadian National #1. This exact engine was the first diesel here on Prince Edward Island and spent it's first years pulling mixed freight and passenger trains on the Murray Harbor sudivision. I was really excited to see the catalogue reference but dissappointed that there is no picture reference with the listing.

Do you know which colour scheme was planned for the model? The prototype was originally delivered in a simple all-over black scheme but was later re-painted into variations of CN's olive green scheme.

It doesn't appear that the model is in production. Is it a new announcement?

Thanks for considering the model. I am really looking forward to learning more about it's production.
