A couple photos of my IMRC CP ES44AC 8726. Detailed and weathered myself, with soot powder currently applied and sealed. Made sure to apply the heaviest amounts along the anti-skid and exhaust stack. Toasters never stay clean for long.  Next, I'll want to work on the bottom by adding dirt and grime around the trucks and fuel tank. More will be added when that time comes.   |

Does H&R have containers never seen one until your background container just curious Thanks! No, not done yet. I want to get some dirtier powder on the trucks and fuel tank to simulate the grime kicked up from the rails and whatnot during speedy runs on high priority trains. H&R does have containers, 53 footers to be exact. They are usually seen on CN, but I have seen them a couple times on CP. My container is a custom one I did using a Walthers 48ft EMP Stoughton container. Just for the fun and enjoyment of having one since H&R is based out of my hometown Lethbridge, AB. |

The containers are basically the same as the trailers, the most noticeable difference is the bracing to clear the thermo unit at the front. A link to a picture of a container will be extra helpful hankstruckforum.com/htforum/index.php?topic=44665.45 |
