NCAN01-55 Nicholas Morant NCAN01-99                            Peter Ely

"The Canadian" was introduced in April, 1955 by the Canadian Pacific, incorporating the latest in railroad technology. Built by Budd in the likeness of the famed California Zephyr, with fluted stainless steel and domes, the 172 cars ordered cost a mere $40 million!  Most recently, the "waving" Canadian flags and a large, white Government of Canada logo was added to the sides of each car. Railway Classics is pleased to offer this elegant train in it's original and most recent versions, however, if the demand warrants, a 1969 or a 1978 version may be possible.  These cars will have correct, free-rolling trucks, interior walls and Micro-Trains® MAGNE-MATIC® couplers.  Purchase of all three 1955 sets will provide all the cars necessary for a complete, "normal" consist of "The Canadian." Purchase of both sets in the -99 era will provide all the cars necessary for a, "normal" consist of the "Canadian" and the add-on sets in each provide the typical extra cars added for peak season operation.  For each 8-car set in all four eras, we will be offering an A and a B set with different car names and numbers so that two completely different trains may be obtained. The add-on sets will have A, B, and C sets.
