Undersized class lights, pathetically wrong bell mount bracket, no Canadian handrails or steps, improper ditch lights without the ever-present lift lugs, class light punchouts on the nose when there shouldn't be any, no Canadian style plow, no drop steps, questionable lettering and numbering font (CP Rail should be a bit bolder, cab numbers too tall).
Nice try Intermountain, move a headlight, slap on a bell and call it Canadian...D'oh Canada!
I was going to mention the horn being on sideways(!), but wasn't sure if that was a user-applied part or not.

Despite any inaccuracies, (I don't care about prototype accuracy), are these worth the money? I really like the SOO and Milwaukee Road models. I hope they do a WSOR version.

The three sound units that I got run great, very smooth. My layout train length max is around 25 cars so I cannot comment on pulling power. I would buy more Soo units but the CP unit will end up trailing one of the new Bowser Canadian SD40-2 units. I got them at reasonable price so it does help. |

The SOO versions are tempting to me! I'm thinking of grabbing one to have in the middle of my Bowser CP SD40-2s when they show up.
