WHAT’S HAPPENING<br />
The next <strong>CN</strong> Lines SIG convention will<br />
be held in Winnipeg on May 20-22, 2005,<br />
as part of a joint effort with the Winnipeg<br />
Model Railroad Club, the <strong>Canadian</strong><br />
<strong>Association</strong> of Railway Modellers, and the<br />
CP SIG. If you would like to offer a clinic<br />
please contact Stafford Swain at the<br />
address on the masthead.<br />
Errata <strong>CN</strong> <strong>LINES</strong> Vol. 12 No. 2<br />
We are including a photo of Andy<br />
Malette’s very nice model of a K-class<br />
Pacific on this page as follow-up to his S<br />
scale article in the last issue.<br />
We also didn’t receive word soon<br />
enough from Charls Gendron that he has<br />
several HO versions of SW1200RS models<br />
in resin made by Kaslo that can be fitted to<br />
the Proto2000 chassis.<br />
There are several corrections related to<br />
Part One of the Railiner piece. The wrong<br />
caption slipped in with respect to the photo<br />
of RDC-5 No. 6004 from the George<br />
Carpenter collection. George did submit a<br />
slide of No. 6004 with the caption provided,<br />
but it was a later picture in VIA colours<br />
at Halifax. The correct caption should read,<br />
“RDC-5 No. 6004 in fresh paint was photographed<br />
at Montreal on March 29, 1976,<br />
parked in the service area.—R. J. Visockis<br />
photo, George Carpenter collection.” Also<br />
note the lead unit on the back cover is No.<br />
6352, and not 6354.<br />
Courtesy and Service<br />
We are marketing our “Courtesy and<br />
Service” bridge decals in two sizes designed<br />
to fit HO-scale bridges and buildings. Last<br />
fall, Shaun Arthur and Al Lill found a<br />
bridge in Calgary with the old lettering (as<br />
photographed by Glen Brosinsky, above).<br />
There are others across the country. Les<br />
Kozma is planning an article on the<br />
“Courtesy and Service” signage on bridges<br />
and buildings and would welcome additional<br />
photographic contributions. The <strong>Canadian</strong> Railway Museum’s ex-<strong>CN</strong>R RS-18 No. 3684 has been restored to its original<br />
<strong>Canadian</strong> <strong>National</strong> paint scheme.—Len Thibeault photo<br />
<strong>CN</strong>R RS-18 Restoration Project<br />
The restoration of this locomotive was Andy Malette’s S-scale model of <strong>CN</strong>R Pacific No. 5575.—Andy Malette photo<br />
done as part of the <strong>Canadian</strong> Railway<br />
Museum’s planned participation at the<br />
2003 Fair of the Iron Horse in Baltimore.<br />
While this fair did not occur due to the<br />
unfortunate events at the B&O Museum,<br />
<strong>CN</strong>R No. 3684 (along with CPR M630<br />
No. 4563, also scheduled to participate)<br />
received a much-deserved restoration.<br />
As part of its restoration, No. 3684 lost<br />
its storm window and received a sun visor.<br />
All lettering on the unit was done with the<br />
masking method and thus no decals were<br />
used. A high quality urethane-based paint<br />
was used. Interior of the cab was redone<br />
and involved removing many coats of flaking<br />
paint. The locomotive is currently serviceable<br />
and sees occasional limited service<br />
around the museum site. It is currently on<br />
display inside the new “Exporail” pavilion<br />
at the museum along with such other preserved<br />
<strong>CN</strong>R units such as FPA-4 No. 6765,<br />
FA-1 No. 9400 and switcher No. 77.<br />
