inertial filtration with fiberglass or pa- per air filters. The horn locations moved as well. The final CP C-630M operated in
1995 and thereafter CP 4500 went to the Arkansas & Missouri as their No. 70, where it had a good rest before finding full time work as Western New York & Pennsylvania No. 630 where it runs to this day. In 1993 Canadian National sold
eleven C-630 units to spin-off Cape Breton & Central Nova Scotia. Most of these units were painted in an attrac- tive black and yellow scheme with a large red Scottish lion emblazoned on the hood. Some were scrapped for parts but the “runners” were the pride of Nova Scotia until a change of railway management deemed them surplus. PGE 701-704 passed through a vari-
ety of paint schemes as the railway be- came the British Columbia Railway and then BC Rail. In 1991 they were traded in to General Electric. What then has Bowser been able to

bring us with their new release of HO scale C-630M units? The answer is just about everything. Every paint scheme is represented. There is CN in the solid black, CN in the stripes, Canadian Pa- cific maroon and gray with the script lettering, CP Rail Action Red with the narrow stripes, CP Rail Action Red with wide stripes, Cape Breton & Cen- tral Nova Scotia, Pacific Great Eastern in the original green lightning stripe, British Columbia Railway two-tone green, British Columbia Railway two- tone green with white end stripes, BC Rail red/white/blue, Arkansas & Mis- souri in deep red and WNYP in the
same color. There is much more to the Bowser C-
630M. These are not merely Alco C-630 models wearing Canadian colors. Bowser has made every reasonable ef- fort to match MLW practice and that begins with the Dofasco ZWT truck. Due to its shorter than normal axle spacing, the Dofasco truck has previ- ously been available only on brass im- ports. Bowser, however, through the invention of a clever new gearbox arrangement, has modeled the Dofasco truck with the correct wheelbase. The Dofasco script logo and the word “Canada” are even cast onto the side- frames, although one needs a magnifi- er to see them. Score points for Bowser. Canadian locomotive practice favors
low headlight mounting and Bowser has complied by mounting the model’s headlights (working) on the nose. BCOL/BC Rail had unusual cross-eyed ditchlights on the noses of their units and once again Bowser has gone the extra mile in modeling them. Regular pilot-mounted ditchlights are installed on the late CP Rail, A&M, and WNYP models and they are illuminated. Score more points for Bowser. Because the C-630M units were in-
tended as road freight rather than road- switcher locomotives, MLW omitted rear pilots from the prototype locomo- tives. Bowser has followed suit. The fi- delity of detail continues at the front pi- lots where the models are equipped with wrap-around pilots for the Canadi- an Pacific units. Canadian National C- 630M’s were outfitted with snowplows but of a different style than those ap- plied by MLW to PGE/BCOL/BC Rail
