Canadian National 5702 Locomotive

Canadian National 5702
Built by the Montreal Locomotive Works in 1930, this 4-6-4 class K-5-a was one of a small fleet of CN Hudsons serving express passenger service. The locomotive was eventually retired from service and donated to the Canadian Railroad Historical Association in September 1960 and is now on display in Canada's largest railway museum (Exporail) which I have had the good fortune to see.

For the passenger car I don't have much information knowing that there is only one photo on the internet: CN 5509

Here are some facts about my model:

•There are 3929 pieces exactly.

• There are 7 minifigures.

• This model can go on a classic Lego track but cannot handle the curves due to its massive wheel from the Hogwarts Express™ – Collectors' Edition (76405) set. This makes this model mainly a display one.

• As shown in the sixth picture, the locomotive has a gear system to make the wheels turn again like the Hogwarts Express™ – Collectors' Edition (76405) set.

Why could this be a good LEGO IDEAS set
My idea could be a great Lego Ideas set, because even though the model is mainly designed to be displayed in all its beauty it has some playable features as it contains minifigures, openable spot on the train such as the cabin and passenger car and a gear mechanism that turns the wheels. For these reasons, this model could be a great set to have.

END
I would be very grateful if you could support, comment or share my idea.💖
