Road Name History: Saskatchewan Grain Car Corporation (reporting marks SKPX, SKNX) was a Canadian crown corporation owned by the Government of Saskatchewan established on October 2, 1979 to purchase and rent grain rail cars for the transportation of statutory grains between Saskatchewan and export ports. The corporation was governed by the Saskatchewan Grain Car Corporation Act. In 1990 the government invested $55M in the corporation for the purchase of 1,000 new covered rail cars. Priority in the rental of rail cars was given to short-line operators in the province. In March of 2017, the Government of Saskatchewan announced that it would be selling off nearly 1,000 hopper cars as the Saskatchewan Grain Car Corporation was going to be wound down.

Brand/Importer Information: Established in 1981, KANAMODEL PRODUCTS is a Canadian company owned by Model Railroaders and dedicated to bring authentic and accurate HO and N scale models of both Canadian prototypes and models of interest to all discerning Model Railroaders.
Every KANAMODEL kit is scaled from actual blueprints or from the buildings still standing. We do not manufacture kits of a whimsical or generic nature.
Our building structures are laser cut for precision, accuracy and ease of assembly.
In addition to our ever expanding range of regular kits, we also make a number of smaller but still highly detailed buildings which we call our KANAMODEL EXPRESS line in HO Scale and MINIKIT in N scale. These are easy to build and very economical but they are realistic and accurate so add to any layout alone or part o larger scenes.
In addition to buildings, we also produce cast weighted loads for hopper cars,
