Thank your all for your encouragement.
@GEC: This kind of shot makes me want to move forward the layout to late 70s!!! (not that much of a stretch since it was relatively similar to the late 50s and most major industries were still in place and strong).
It was and still is! No wonder many tourist trains found there way there. It is said to be the most scenic track in Eastern Canada. But this line is dangerous and the track always subject to landslide and washout. Both M420 once ended upside down in the river in late 80s/early 90s. One was a total loss, the other one burned down few years after!
I'm praying for a company to make a RTR M420 in the upcoming years... Wide cabs and canadian prototypes seems to be popular nowadays (SD40, GP38-2W, GP40W, M630). I pray for this day to happen.

Seeing those CN wide cabs (another favorite of mine) alongside the mountain, I can just imagine the drone of the diesel engines, reverberating in the air as they labor to pull their load.
