Can someone tell me the model of this engine please. And what is the second engine called?

They look like F7 A and B units to me - but I'm sure a US railfan could verify that. In any event, the F7 is a very popular model made by many different HO manufacturers - like Life-Like, Atlas and Athearn, which you should be able to pick up pretty cheaply too.

Ok from process of elimination this is from EMD(hood is rounded not flat like an Alco)it is an F series(port hole windows and 8 wheel instead of square windows and 12 wheel)now the hard part is what model it is,Canadian railroads tend to "kit bash" if you will.And after looking it over I thought it was F7 but after seeing the roof of it and of prototype pictures it is an FP9

OK, FP7 or 9 A and B units . Now to find them both on the DLS. lol

Thanks for the feedback guys,

Harold

This one reminds me of a few episodes of "Trailer park boys".

I think it's an FP9. See this Fallen Flags photo http://www.rr-fallenflags.org/cp/cp1900mfa.jpg

BD1 nailed it. The photographer clearly states that the trains is the sold out Rapido Canadian, and it's listed on their site as #2 FP9A's and one FP9B.
