| As a companion to their Rail Canada books LPD began this series of photo CD presentations. Initially there will be three groups of diesel CDs, Rail Canada vol. 1 followed by vol.2 and vol. 3. The first group of four individual CDs is based on the paint schemes found in Rail Canada vol. 1 and Rail America vol.1.
A CD ROM that is of particular interest to mountain country modellers, and those interested in cycling or walking portions of the former CPR Carmi subdivision, in particular the Myra Canyon area with it's trestles, steel bridges and tunnels.
LPD's Steam in Canada forms the basis for two individual CDs, the first disk covers 4-4-0s to the 4-8-4s. The second CD-ROM in production will cover 0-6-0 switchers through the 2-10-4 Selkirks and 2-0-2 Shays. |
