A total of twenty locos were delivered in two batches of ten each. The first batch, numbers #2800-2809, were delivered in 1929 and classified H1a while the second ten, numbers #2810-2819, arrived in 1930 and were classified H1b. These locomotives were used on mainline passenger trains across the CP’s system. So successful were they that CP used their design as the basis for its later H-1c\/d\/e “Royal Hudsons” seven years later. Both classes survived intact until the end of steam, with the first retirements not coming until 1957.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRapido’s H-1a\/b HO scale models are based on the hugely successful Royal Hudson.
