Innacurate Hudson

[MRange1117]

Hey Guys,
I downloaded the CP Royal Hudson Locomotive From your Extras page but I immediately noticed an issue. The locomotive in the add-on, isn't accurately Labeled.
As you can see Here: http://www.rrsites.com/royalhudson/images/Hudson02.jpg , the plaque on the front says British Columbia and Canada, not Canadian Pacific, as in the model. As well the Tender says Canadian Pacific, though in reality it reads British Columbia Also. For More Authenticity as well, you could add the Crowns on the front on the sides and under the cab windows as was true of all locomotives that carried the royal Family hence dubbed "Royal". One other small detail is the Nose of the Boiler which is in actuality, flat, not pointed.

Otherwise this is a great Model.

On that note Might I suggest that you Make The CP 2816 Royal Hudson Empress? Another great Engine by CP that shouldn't be hard to Make. A few Modifications to the H10 should do It. Larger Drive Wheels, only THREE of them instead of 4 on Each side, and 1 more set Of pilot wheels on the front. Also the water tank above the nose of the boiler could go a bit back. Check out the picture: http://www8.cpr.ca/cms/English/General+ ... %20Empress

These locomtives also came with the CPR paint scheme. http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=281202, I think that only a few locomotives were painted BC. But that doesn't stop anyone from making a new skin.

Well if that's the case, then It's an issue with the name. Royal Hudson refers to the Hudsons that carried the royal folk on their visits to Canada So If it is the 2860 as shown in the model, then It should be painted with the right logo don't you think? Oh well It doesn't matter all too much. It still looks the part.
