I was quite surprised and delighted when I saw that AZL had produced an EMD 8 in the old Canadian Pacific colours. Frankly, I didn't know that CP ever ran EMD's in this style. So I did some research and found out that yes indeed, they did travel on tracks here in Canuckastan. These look like sweet machines and I have just ordered one from my dealer which should be here in a couple of weeks. I'm eager to see how it performs on my layout, how much it can pull, and how well it works with my MTL F7's. In doing my research I also found out Canadian National also ran EMD's in both the original yellow and green and the black with red nose and white CN noodle logo. I wonder if ATL will produce EMD's in those colours? What I am disappointed in however, is that AZL chose not to produced the heavyweight passenger cars to go with the CP EMD. That would have been a very sweet deal to be sure. I've been waiting for them since the baggage car was put out an eternity ago. In any case, I have quite a few freight cars in the old CP logo that I can run with the loco. Still it would be most impressive to see this beauty running around my layout with a string of CP passenger cars behind it. I guess I'll have to see it in my dreams.
