@Timplanes I fixed it removing all the labels I put on the table trays I realized for every tray there's like 3 layered so probably 200 lables... yikes
This is my first time using custom pictures too, so you'll see it inside my plane. I put a nice big one right on the cargo bulkhead. Some of Canadian North's 737-200s had murals, so I put this one in to reflect that.
I've made no visible changes to the exterior of this aircraft; all changes have been inside. Honestly, I could still add more details, and I would without a doubt, but part count is forcing me to upload what I have. So far, this is the most accurate, most realistic 737-200 on the market, and one of very few planes to have an interior and be properly modeled.
I was unfortunately out of Nunavut by then and haven't had the opportunity to fly a 737-200 Combi since probably 2017. Planes like this exact one, under two main operators (Canadian North & First Air), were my only means of transport. As shown in the video, she now proudly serves under a different airline outside Canada. As of now, Nolinor, a Canadian charter, is the single largest operator of 737-200s (especially Combi variants) in the world.
Also, I've updated the cockpit slightly, adding more dials and larger screens for better visibility. The rest is mostly the same. I also added some "easter eggs"; they should be easy to find. Tell me if you find all three.
This plane would be the last scheduled 737-200 Combi left in Canada. First Air phased all of theirs out during the merger in 2019, leaving Canadian North as the sole operator. Nowadays, you can find these extraordinary aircraft still serving the North for charter by Nolinor and Air Inuit.
The hardest part was honestly trying to get the livery correct. That was a pain, but it's finally done. After considering it for months, I finally did it.
I I am attempting to build a new locomotive, this one for freight (N2 2-8-0 consolidation). I cannot find any blueprints since Canadian Pacific literally destroyed and burned them all. I only found one publicly available.
Update: There are no blueprints anywhere, so the one I have is all there is. I unfortunately have to scrap this project, as the blueprint provided only displays a side profile and not a front profile, so I cannot get the proper dimensions.
CPR D10 Operational Specs (General for D10, D10h, D10j subclasses)
Wheel arrangement: 4-6-0 (Ten-Wheeler) Driver
diameter: ~63 in (varied slightly by subclass)
Cylinders: 20 in × 26 in Boiler pressure: 180 psi
Tractive effort: ~28,000–30,000 lbs Weight on
drivers: approx. 145,000–150,000 lbs Total
engine weight: ~185,000–195,000 lbs Tender
capacity: ~8–10 tons coal; ~5,000–6,000 gal water
Fuel type: Coal (all in service; some later converted for excursions)
Top practical speed: ~50–55 mph (although they were usually used slower)
Primary duties: Branch-line passenger, mixed trains, wayfreight, light secondary mainline work Era: Built 1905–1913 (over 500 total); mainline use into the 1940s, branch-line use into the early 1960s
The D10 was famous for being tough, reliable, and capable everywhere on the CPR system. They were light enough for short bridges and lightly built prairie or maritime branch lines, but strong enough to haul moderate freight and small passenger consists. Crews liked their sure-footedness, minimal maintenance headaches, and good steaming. They became the CPR’s “everywhere locomotive,” commonly handling mixed trains, rural passenger service, commuter trips, and local freights right up to dieselization.
When I say this locomotive is accurate, it is indeed accurate, weighing in at 69,000 to 72,000 lbs with a fuel load of roughly 4,000 gallons. In comparison, my locomotive is identical. This train features a steam whistle (Pitch input) and my standard window lighting (AG-7). This locomotive isn't completely finished, so expect more updates soon enough.
On the webpage, they have a virtual interactive tour (kind of like VR) of several locomotives. I personally think that's pretty damn cool. They literally mapped out multiple railcars and locomotives you can walk all of it
Canadian Pacific switched to diesel overnight, fueled by corporatism, and saw locomotives like this—dirty, disgusting, and depressing. Only four remain. Canadian Pacific later acknowledged, after public outcry, that steam became a history worth preserving. In the early 90s and 2000s, Canadian Pacific attempted and somehow successfully rebuilt and restored a locomotive to operating condition. The project was plagued by issues. When they searched for documents, they found almost nothing—maybe a single cabinet file worth of documents. Out of desperation, they asked former employees, railfans, and any museums to share anything they had to rebuild the Hudson. In 2024, it ran, spanning all three nations, and at the head of it all? None other than Hudson 2816, pulling what little survived. This event is known as the Final Spike.

Canadian Pacific 2816, also known as the "Empress", is a preserved H1b class 4-6-4 "Hudson" type steam locomotive, built by the Montreal Locomotive Works in December 1930 for the Canadian Pacific Railway. It is the only non-streamlined H1 Hudson to be preserved.

This train is quite lengthy, almost entirely Pullman, besides the Budd baggage railcar. The consist is simple, practical, and scenic, maximizing comfort and class.

This train is mixed-class. Even though the train was open to all, including economy passengers, from the 1930s to the late 1950s, it was absolutely essential for the cities in the West. Unfortunately, not only this Hudson but almost all but four were scrapped, along with the burning of hundreds of thousands of documents, logs, and blueprints. Even banned photographs dubbed steam power a "national embarrassment." Anything that remained of steam was destroyed, making this train nearly impossible to recreate. The only surviving documents were stolen and hidden, saved out of desperation to preserve any traces that Canadian Pacific tried so brutally to erase. A handful of remaining documents, probably less than a hundred overall of all Canadian Pacific steam operations since its very birth, maybe a dozen photographs, and a single blueprint are all I could use to build this train.
The locomotive, still under development, has a plow and a more pronounced shine, among other things. All of these changes and more will be released with the FULL set.
Honestly, not to pat myself on the back, but I think I did incredibly well. Oh, and I'll start building matching coaches soon and release my final iteration with the FULL set.
Going so well cant wait to see what people will think of this 3 days from now :3
@Timplanes I fixed it removing all the labels I put on the table trays I realized for every tray there's like 3 layered so probably 200 lables... yikes
Up next is perhaps the most iconic 737-200 operator in the world...
Nolinor Aviation!
New problem i cannot load this plane without crashing... I'm gonna have to cut parts
I cannot work on any projects till I do this "emergency patch" that means stuff delayed
This is my first time using custom pictures too, so you'll see it inside my plane. I put a nice big one right on the cargo bulkhead. Some of Canadian North's 737-200s had murals, so I put this one in to reflect that.
Hear me out... egg version...

I am dedicated thats for sure
It has been done the first and most detailed passenger cabin on simple planes and it crashed my phone first time i loaded it in so yea...
This gains enough traction I'll consider releasing one with a full interior (including passenger cabin and cargo bay)
Im insane so im making a fully detailed interior and seating may upload depending on how long my sanity lasts
@DickyDuncan Enjoy

Well my popularity TANKED
Come on this is a well built locomotive
I I am attempting to build a new locomotive, this one for freight (N2 2-8-0 consolidation). I cannot find any blueprints since Canadian Pacific literally destroyed and burned them all. I only found one publicly available.
It takes a while before any of my creations really become known. Granted, this is simple PLANES, but still...
If this gains enough traction I'll build ANOTHER locomotive from scratch (CPR N2 Class or something small)
This locomotive is probably my most detailed and accurate one so far
You all have no idea the pain of rescaling hundreds of parts.

Bruh... i accidentally deleted a coach... even more delays
Currently and painfully rescaling every god dam coach so this may take a while... wish this game allowed to rescale objects
(Still WIP)

My next project is more hudson stuff AND a NEW C.P.R. D10 4-6-0 locomotive
Pure madness
@RailfanEthan they used action red in the rebranding during the 60s its the older units that used Tuscan red like my atlantic limited train
Amazing
I have something exciting that'll be released shortly and it uses this locomotive
Everyone but Fiege3... sad

@MonsNotTheMonster @LunarEclipseSP @Boeing727200F @FeiGe3 for your dedication your names are on 2816's Tender!
Im genuinely struggling to find a blueprint for 2816...
@Boeing727200F thanks alot man really appreciate it

Two words 2816 LAST SPIKE
Not nearly as much fanfare as my previous train although this one is better overall
So close to 5k I plan something big
Surprised this one isnt as popular
So far i have the only Canadian built steam locomotive on SP
The locomotive, still under development, has a plow and a more pronounced shine, among other things. All of these changes and more will be released with the FULL set.
V2 Has been released check it out!
Honestly, not to pat myself on the back, but I think I did incredibly well. Oh, and I'll start building matching coaches soon and release my final iteration with the FULL set.
Yall really gonna love V2
