CN Silver Creek Sub

CN Silver Creek Sub

The CN Silver Creek Sub is our proto freelanced Canadian National subdivision. Canadian pacific makes an appearance with running rights to interchange at Beaverton and service Irving Oil past Wellington.
Currently we are rebuilding parts of the layout we aren’t happy with as well as installing CTC.
Full Canadian CTC properly displaying CROR (Canadian Railway Operating Rules) signal indications has proved to be much more difficult and expensive than we could have ever imagined, but we are almost there, custom cantilever signal bridges are currently under development and we hope to be the full CTC in a few months!!
We appreciate your support, cheers and happy modeling!

    Once you paint the facia the screws will not be prominent. It would also be easy to pull and replace if you need to get in there and do some work. It looks great. What a wonderful space you have to build your railroad. Everything is looking good.

    Yes we have a few but they are getting speaker upgrades and weathering before they go on the layout. And to answer your question, there are only a couple of these style left in service, 4028 is one of them, I’m building that unit but it needs a couple of modifications to be made current, but there will be a few on the layout here in the next month or so when I get time to get them done.
