The models were commissioned by Andrew Merrilees in the 1960s from his own reproductions of locomotive manufacturers’ drawings in his collection – many of which are now in the archives at the CSTM. The four passenger cars were built by James (Jim) Shields, formerly the CPR’s Corporate Historian from drawings provided by Andrew Merrilees. The four passenger cars were recognized for their accuracy by the model railway community when Jim Shields won the 1962 Craftsman Trophy. Railway modelers pride themselves on the accuracy of their product and when these models were built in the mid-1960s the models were considered the height of their craft. The models were so accurate that they could not be run on most o-scale track layouts because the layouts were usually built with unrealistically tight curves. (From "Canadian Context/Historical Significance" section in Acquisition Proposal, p.12)
