Re: CP model to fit a paint scheme
Clark: many CP cars were painted in this scheme, including 10 ' IH 1937 AAR
cars and later 10'6 AAR cars. The 1937 kits can be kitbashed from IM or RC
1937 bodies and CRMPG roofs and ends. Jim Little

I believe that Larry Jackman moved to the Puget Sound area to be close to family and support. I do not know whether or not he is still internet-connected.
