DAR HO locomotives on Dan Conlin's layout

Model Steam

A page for models of DAR steam locomotives. DAR's steam locomotives can be accurately represented by brass CPR classes or depicted with some accuracy by a variety of plastic locomotives, enhanced with some superdetailing and custom lettering for the DAR's unique company colours. Nothing says DAR like the "Land of Evangeline" herald on a coal tender.
