I'm torn . . . between ordering three, or "only" two.
CP had three, numbers 1800, 1801 and 1802. All were E8As. They had no E8Bs at all.
I'm happy as a clam that a high quality CP E8 is going to be offered at all! But would be willing to open my wallet a little further for an unpowered A unit. Then I'd get the three numbers.
Must be frustrating to try and accommdate everybodys' wishes. Ultimately not feasible to do so. We see a welter of conflicting desires here and now I want unpowered A units for heaven's sake!!! And in a Canadian road name as well, likely in vanishingly small demand compared to the huge US roads!
Somehow I feel I'm going to buckle . . . and end up with THREE powered CP E8A units. 
That's if the three numbers are available.
The fact that something has been done before does not mean it is available to those who want it. To my knowledge, only Weaver has done CP E8s in their original paint scheme. The Weavers, issued in 1992, are hard to find, of antiquated technology (not even a horn or bell) and not comparable in detail to higher end models. MTH's CP1800, offered in 2010, is pretty nice . . . but the Multimark, "Pacman" paint scheme is not how CP1800 looked in her first years when I saw her and rode behind her! And those MTH CP E8B units are fictitious! CP never had any!
It's going to be hard waiting for these wonderous new toys from Sunset!
