HI, and as you may notice by my other posts, I like unusual engines, and in an effort to go with a more realistic and possible prototypical approach to model railroading, and I have discovered the Chatham, Walleceburg, and Lake Erie, Ry, or the come walking, leave early, as the locals called it. Anyway, so for on of the locomotives the this electrified line was an HEPC locomotive, which as I have no Idea what this is, could somebody help me?
Try Google, it knows everything! I plugged in ‘HEPC Locomotive’ and came up with this search:
And found lots of interesting information, like this:
from here: http://www.trainweb.org/oldtimetrains/construction/queenston.htm
And lots of other fun info from other sites. Why not go to Google yourself and give it a whirl?

There was an article in the January 2010 Model Railroader about a kitbash of an O scale steeplecab similar to the picture posted by jwhitten. There are a couple of detail shots that might be useful to you.

HEPC = Hydro Electric Power Commission which later became Ontario Hydro.
