Models of Algoma Central EquipmentThis is not a complete list (I hope). If you know of a product that matches an ACR prototype (remember, all passenger equipment is secondhand ownership) and it is not listed here, feel free to contact me.
Here it is: a list of models that match ACR prototypes, or can be made to with a
minimum of alterations.
Locomotives are not included in this list, see the
Diesel Locomotive page for suggestions on detailing.
If you are not as concerned with spot-on prototypical accuracy,
this page has a list of models that are available in
ACR colours, but are not necessarily accurate in terms of the car type, and possibly even
have errors in the lettering itself. However, some of these models will allow you to get
something that at least "looks close" if you do not want to do the work of detailing and
painting.
Scale: (listed smallest to largest)
N - HO - O - S - G
Note: products marked with a * require some alterations to more accurately represent actual ACR cars. See the Equipment Guide for details. "OOP" in brackets marks an item that is no longer in production and may be difficult to obtain.
