Canadian Pacific (CP)

Canadian Pacific played a central role in connecting eastern Canada with the Pacific Coast, crossing the Rocky Mountains and helping shape the country's growth. That remarkable history continues to inspire collectors looking for Canadian Pacific model trains that represent both classic steam operations and today's modern freight network.

CP model trains appeal to hobbyists who enjoy everything from mountain railroading and grain service to intermodal operations and transcontinental freight.

Few Canadian locomotives are as recognizable as the Royal Hudson, but Canadian Pacific's diesel fleet has also become a favorite among collectors. Popular locomotive models include the GP9, GP38-2, GP40-2, SD40-2, SD90MAC, AC4400CW, ES44AC, C630M, RS18, and classic F7 locomotives.

Whether you're recreating steam excursions or present-day freight operations, Canadian Pacific offers one of the hobby's broadest selections of locomotive models.

Canadian Pacific collections often feature the railroad's familiar red locomotives, the Multimark logo, the beaver emblem, and special releases such as the Holiday Train. These distinctive paint schemes help make CP one of the most recognizable railroads on layouts throughout North America.
