Hello Mark---I know exactly how you feel---as an addicted Canadian National fan,this locomotive is going to be hard to resist,especially in that classic green/yellow/black livery.Did you know that Jason Schronn from Rapido Trains also has a future planned release of a Montreal locomotive Works FP4A and B diesel coming soon---another "must have" for my collection.I've also been waiting for the GMD FP9 which has been on order for some time---I'm starting to think about looking for a p/t job to suppliment my retirement pension so I can feed my addiction.I don't know what I will do if Jason starts producing Canadian steam locomotives

Those would make a interesting locomotive for a freelance short line..

Thankfully I'm not interested.

Oh Myyyyy!!! Its a MP15 on steroids!!!
I must have one!!!

I soooo want one of those in N scale! In classic green of course

Cheers,

Kev

Personally, it bugs me that a DC locomotive, with no bells and whistles, costs $225. I like details as much as the next modeler, but all I keep seeing is prices go up. What about this model make is that much more expensive? Is it a short run? Did I miss something?

This hobby is starting to really make me nuts when it comes to prices. I feel like even when I get things at a "discount", its only bringing the price down to "reasonable" from "ridiculous".

I do like the green/gold/black livery.

While I've always liked the CNR's green and gold paint scheme, it and almost all of their diesels, are too modern for my late-'30s layout. In the case of the GMD 1, it's never been one of my favourites, ranking way down the list near the BL 2 and low-nose GP 30s (neither of which were owned by CNR).

Conversely, FPA/B-4s and the GMD 1-related SW1200RS locos are right near the top of my list, although it's not a shopping list.

Hard to resist, but I will... at least I should. The more you get, the less it has value in your eyes...

After GMD-1, M420 should be the next thing purely canadian to hit the market...

Didn't Kaslo shops make a kit of the M420?

Yes and the Port Hapless & Quincy Railroad wants one...but being a borderline broke freelanced shortline it will have to wait and see...

PHQRR to Big Blue Trains !! Hope to see you around a bit more now that you have found us.
