Being a year out will be good for my wallet. LOL.

Well, for starters, here's this info: (no pix or info), but given the numbers of the CP units, you know they are this. So no block lettering or the other 3 military units.

Smart move of them to spread out the road numbers/schemes over multiple releases, save the wallet for many customers!
