Actually, although I don't model Canadian prototype per se, I would be happy to build it as CNR, as I've seen many photos of them working branchlines in Ontario right up until the end of steam (among other titles I own five or so of Ian Wilson's excellent photo collections and delight in browsing them from time to time). I believe there are as many as four or five of the prototype still in existence.
