    I am looking for quality pictures of CP Rail F units in the orange/striped nose scheme. Also, did CP Rail put those huge snow plow pilots on their F units? I am looking to model a pair of Kato F units in this scheme complete with icicle breakers and such but I need good reference pictures to do this. Any help would be great!

    I asked my son (who is on the net just about daily looking at pictures of goodies, and chatting) and he said to find these is more difficult (which I find hard to believe), so I have emailed your request off to a friend who might be able to help. So I will see if I can get back to you.

    I emailed a couple of my friends about your request. For the photo, it looks like Sandro has helped you. My friend John Green responded; the book he recommended is in Black and White so that wouldn't have helped you. But I am adding his reply here as he has a comment about the snow plows.

    I am not sure I suspect this is the "ACTION RED" as opposed to ?orange? scheme with the angled white nad red stripes.

    I would try Mich Chandler's book WESTBOUND but it is strictly black and white ?
    I do not beleve they used Huge snow ploughs

    This answere is off the top pof my head,
    The person may also find more inforamtion on the SPR SIG chat list. (Here I think he meant CPR Sig chat list)

    Cheers
