CN No.9344, as photographed in March 2012. A strong and powerful streamlined diesel locomotive, this engine was obtained prior to 2007 as an express diesel locomotive. These days, the locomotive is not used as much, primarily as the rolling stock that it usually pulls are branded as its rival company's stock - Canadian Pacific. Nevertheless, this locomotive is still high in quality and looks, with details abounding and a crisp livery application finishing this locomotive off.

The side of the locomotive. Big and heavy, the locomotive is able to achieve surprising turns of speed - a testament to its very high quality mechanism inside. Slow at first, the locomotive picks up speed until it is rolling along at a reasonable pace, its non-directional headlamp shining brightly in front. The only real fault is that it is not the same company as the stock it pulls - otherwise it is a fine locomotive which is highly recommended.

The nose of the locomotive, with a crisp livery and some sharp details picked out.

The rear of the locomotive also features clean details and crisply-moulded features, helping it to stand out as a competent locomotive. Although some details need to be replaced (one handrail here immediately comes to mind), the lovomotive is overall very accurately detailed.

The rear of the locomotive, where more details are found. Generally thisside of the locomotive is not seen often, more likely being coupled to a train of streamlined carriages than running on its own.

The front of the locomotive, showing off the front headlamp and iconic nose profile of the diesel. Overall a strong and competent locomotive that is more than able to perform as and when required.

Howdy,

Nice model, you simply must get some CN stock for it, though!

I have one of the 'Train-line' B-A1A versions in the early New Haven scheme - that is a really excellent model!

I do have a few P1K models and they are pretty good value.

Cheers,

John E.

A superb loco ! Keep the updates coming enjoying reading them ...

 

Thanks for the kind comments, welsh wizard; I'll be making updates to the fleet soon enough. For now, all the locomotives have had their initial profiles completed - save for one...

Thank you for your kind comments, Allegheny1600; though I prefer to model CP Rail I do admit that the livery of this engine is striking on its own - definitely different than the typical black and red scheme found on more inferior-quality products, and all the better for it as well. As I had also said I do own some Canadian Pacific streamlined carriage stock, which the locomotive is able to pull with ease.
