I've had the cars for a while and finally found the matching engine last week. The set is made by Lima.

Hey Cheez:
Alway liked that paint scheme on that Loco myself.
Btw, your "cars" are packaged and addressed and beenin my car for about two months but Cash is to short to ship at present. I just paid for the rest of a train purchase that I had put a deposit on last year, so hang in there.!

Hey Microbusss. At the very beginning the Via engines did have CN on the nose. I think Via was originally created by CN as their passenger service, but they later split into two seperate companies.
Something like that I don't know the whole story.
Gareth: I remember you PM'd me a pic of the set a while back (that's the first place I saw it). Do you know what kind of engine it is?...it's completely slipped my mind. And I agree with you, it looks really nice in the Via paint.
BTW, no hurry on shipping.

Nice pics guys...
...don't know if I ever posted this Rivarossi Y6b I picked up at an outdoor swap meet last year...

I found out the oridinal #2197 has a great history, including being successfully modified in a way that it could outpull a Big Boy>>> http://www.steamlocomotive.com/articulated/nwy.shtml

Cheez:
the parcel has just rolling stock in it... no oengines. I was just commenting on I liked it.
Can't imagine buying another engine anytime soon though I will likely go to the Big Allentown show this November. A chance to visit Todd and get a FEW Bowser PRR rolling stock pieces...
