The 1955 Canadian Streamliner train set is designed to replicate CPR’s flagship streamliner, The Canadian. This MSTS ad-on features a matched A-B-B-A set of FP7’s, and a consist based on The Canadian as it ran in its heyday. Correctly named and numbered cars are included, and the Banff Park observation car has 5 selectable interior views, with a choice of having typical music or not.
