Right! They certainly made sure that people knew that...in their ads!

Actually GN & NP did have Budd built stainless steel cars.
All of the domes on these 2 roads were "Built by Budd" cars in stainless

Painted stainless steel but stainless steel never the less!

I grew up with the Northern Pacific Railway, (especially the North Coast
Limited), and the Great Northern Railway...but my preferred railway to
model
is the Canadian Pacific Railway. At least I had the chance to be around
the Canadian Pacific Railway every summer, especially between Mission,
B.C.
and Revelstoke. My grandfather was an Engineer on the Canadian Pacific,
and
my grandparents and mom were from Revelstoke, B.C. We would go there
every
summer.

It's certainly true that people who grew up primarily exposed to one
railway
are likely to favour that one later. So for those who grew up on Calgary
or
Edmonton, it is reasonable to predict they will tend to follow CP or CN
respectively in later life. But that can't explain everything about
Calgary,
since so many people living there now came from someplace else!

Well that stands to reason with CPR creating Calgary and on the mainline
and
now the headquarters of the CPR and I think that its what you grow up
with
seeing. I have a love of TH&B I saw a lot of it as a kid. My dad would
take
me to Leaside station so I was exposed to CPR . My mother was from Little
Current so I saw CPR when we went on vacation my first train ride was on
the Blueberry Express!! NOW MY DAD LIKED THE 4-8-4S OF cnr SO SUNDAY
AFTERNOON WE WOULD HEAD TO dANFORTH STATION, AND WAIT FOR THE 4PM TRAIN TO
mONTREAL AND WATCH FOR GREEN FLAGS. THEtrain usally had a northern up
front
and it would have worked Danforth Hill then when it crested the hill
picked
up speed by the time last coach went by it was really moving . We would
look
down thehill in about 2 minutes we wouldsee smoke blasting up in the air
followed by a distant headlight this might happen 3 or4 times what a
show.One of my first brass engineswas a U2G 6213 Yes know it.s CNR but I
remember sunday afternoon at Danforth station with my mom and dad and our
cocker spaniel in the familly Rambler remember those things lol. I think
its what we saw as a kid that determines what we model later in life. The
way I see it DAVID HILL ps Why do you think on of the first models built
was
the Turbo .Its what Jason grew up with.

There is also the notion that CN sells better in Edmonton and CPR sells
better in Calgary,
a regional differance!

I think you will find they really meant they sold BETTER in these areas,
not
just in these areas. After all CNR did run in the west, and CPR did run in
the east. And I know their models sold in these areas as well, although I
would agree with their figures that CN sold better in the east, and CP
sold
better in the west.
Doug
funny that Van Hobbies did CNR western engines so often 2=8=2 S2 Mikado,s
4-6-0 western . 2-8-0 oilfired western at least they did the e10 coal
fired at least they did eastern 6060.s and Northerns, 6400,s 5700,s
etc regards David Hill
