This is my Canadian VIA Rail train that I custom painted MTH passenger cars in the VIA blue colors. When VIA was created from Canadian Pacific and Canadian National Railway this is the paint scheme that they did on the CN cars, all of which are now retired. The CP cars were the Budd Silver fleet that is still used today on VIA Rail. The engine is an old Atlas 1970's model with the motor removed and LED lights added. The B unit is a Williams that powers the train. A couple of photos show my Silver Budd VIA train these were old Aluminum extrusions created in the 1960's with hand milled windows. Running on the club garden railway, a G scale CP Canadian runs on the larger garden railway over head and another shot shows the New York Central Live steam engine one of several engines running that day giving train rides in the park.
