This thing is awesome. There is 1 big issue I see tho, the truck on your model of 8781 are the as delivered steerable trucks. By the time 8781 got its Hapag-llyod paint it had been converted to regular high adhesion trucks. A few other things you should do is put a graham white E bell on the conductors side in place of the steel bell that’s there, and program the loco to have a Graham white E bell.

Thanks! I am aware of the few inaccuracies of the model, and believe me it took every bit of self control not to correct them lol - the reason it was done this way was so it matched the trophies we made for Canadian Pacific. We were told not to make any major changes exept to remove the ladder, so that's what we did. The powered units purpose was to show the exact process of repainting the CP display models. Maybe one day I'll go back and fix the trucks and bell, because the fact they're not quite accurate does annoy me a little lol.

I really like to see you guys repaint the Kato Canadian Pacific ac44cw for the upcoming CP holiday train in December

[@iatif1995]

Awesome! That is a nice plaint job there! You're the first one to make 8781! Liked! 👍

[@kyleftw1679]

It has been confirmed that Athearn will be making these. They will be available for pre-order in about a month or two. Alot more is coming.

[@kelleyellison2668]

Beautiful! Since your doing orange, how about a ICG SD40A ? There's a challenge! Great work!

[@sunnysiderails397]

really well done, great looking loco!!!

[@ghost_pine_film_productions]

Thanks!

[@espeescotty]

That's amazing work, and that it was done so quickly too. Impressive.

[@KingTrump2024]

I'm hoping ScaleTrains does a run in the Orange schemes !

[@ameelmd]

Just found your channel and loving it. Great mix of dialogue and footage. Awesome that you’re a rail fan, modeller and videographer/editor.

[@ghost_pine_film_productions]

Thanks! Glad to hear you enjoy the content, I have a lot of fun sharing my hobbies with the world!

[@johnathanlewis2049]

WOW!!!

[@ravenhawk6910]

Your Dad did an awesome job on those units! Another fantastic video my friend!

[@ghost_pine_film_productions]

Thank you!

[@CentralJerseyRailfan]

This is really cool stuff, I have a feeling that both 8757 and 8781 may eventually be released by Athearn as plastic mass produced models, with the correct steerable and hiad trucks respectively

[@ghost_pine_film_productions]

It is very possible.

[@bkriegel95]

Nicely done! Though the 8781 has the Hi-Ad trucks instead of the steerable trucks

[@waynenephew4515]

Look like athearn genesis locomotive or scaletrain

[@gregwilliams7354]

Amazing video. I note the painter uses a Paasche H airbrush. These have been around since the 1940s. A tried and true design.

[@ghost_pine_film_productions]

Good eye! Yes we both swear by them. From experience, the H brush is easier to control than double action brushes in my opinion.

[@cpjjp4705]

What type of glasses are you using to focus on the details???

[@ghost_pine_film_productions]

Rob was using the head magnifier by General Tools. It has three levels of magnification and works great for detail painting.

[@dclarkfarm]

Beautiful job those models will be appreciated by there new owners.

[@smar7598]

Is it possible to get these decals from somewhere?

[@ghost_pine_film_productions]

As of now no. But the 8757 had decals after a few weeks, so this one should be similar.

[@thomasbates7433]

Who made the decals ?

[@ghost_pine_film_productions]

The decals were a limited custom run supplied by Canadian Pacific especially for this project. I'm not sure where they got them made.

[@pdcweb]

@@ghost_pine_film_productions The decals were produced by Precision Design Co., PDC.CA

[@linndoria]

Excellent job on this CP project! Maybe do a project with Waterloo Central Railway in Southwestern Ontario and repaint some of Rapido Trains HO VIA Rail RDCs to match the new current Waterloo Central Railway paint scheme?

[@CANRAIl]

Rob! Your dad's a Legend!

[@custom-nscale4331]

where did you get the decals from ?

[@ghost_pine_film_productions]

The decals were a limited run supplied by Canadian Pacific for these few models.

[@stephenn6200]

Great video, but please learn how to say decals!

[@ghost_pine_film_productions]

Thanks! That's how we pronounce it in western Canada, my Canadian accent I guess lol.

[@stephenn6200]

@@ghost_pine_film_productions Fair enough! I was just messing with you. Keep on making the great videos!!

[@ghost_pine_film_productions]

@@stephenn6200 Thanks again! Stay tuned, I've got more videos on the way!
