Of course, damaged caused by trips to the basement floor, running your train around
18” radius curves at ridiculously high speeds, throwing a model to your friend across
the room, picking up a passenger car with ectoplasmic goo on your hands, or any other
damage caused by you that we haven’t been able to cover here is not covered by war-
ranty. However, if catastrophe does strike and your Canadian gets damaged, please
give us a ring and we’ll do our best to help you out. Yes, even if it was your fault we
will try our best to fix your train for you. Don’t be shy!

Thanks also to Richard Longpre, who translated the instructions in a marathon session
without eating or sleeping.
Above everything else, we owe the existence of this excellent model to three people. Bri-
an Schuff generously provided over 300 drawings as well as hundreds of photographs
which have been invaluable in producing an accurate and complete model. He is a
wealth of knowledge and trivia and wonderfully generous with his time and resources.
Thanks Brian!
Bradley Cooper was our detail saviour. Without Brad, we would not have been able
to find the underbody blueprints of The Canadian passenger cars. He did the legwork
and pulled the strings to get us those drawings, which were previously only on paper
and uncatalogued in a dark warehouse. Thanks, Brad!
And Patrick Lawson spent six months converting the Budd drawings into something that
our factory could use to make the models. So thanks Patrick!
