Great! Looking forward to more Mopac caboose roadnumbers. I thought an unnumbered Mopac would be a good idea, but the printing is so darn nice...
That's exactly how/why I learned to airbrush - I wanted a lot of Mopac Jenks Blue SD40-2s. I'm still surprised that Kato didn't release a non-DB...
I primarily model N scale, but couldn't pass up getting two of these in Mopac for my HO MP SD50s and KMCX coal train (HO layout will eventually be...
At least I was able to get the MP15DC shell put together: [IMG]
Thanks! & thanks for the tip Russ - I had to really push those tabs in firmly for it to seat correctly. I had a few set-backs while painting...
Here are the completed shells for a pair Alton & Southern SW1500s sitting on Concor SW1200 mechs (unfortunately not the nicer Kato mechs, but they...
Agreed...I wish they would release the mid-production as non-DB too. I wound up making a pair using GP40-2 grilles and adding brake wheels....
I have some MP SD40-2 canaries or "Mop-UPs" to represent the merger era, but the thought of picking up a UP crossed my mind too. I'll certainly...
Looks like Kato is releasing another run of SD40-2s in both the early and mid-production versions, both with dynamic brakes: Early: C&NW, Pam Am...
No intro needed for this unique structure. I still need to add signage... [IMG]
I had the slinky effect going on with a unit coal train recently at slow speeds that was causing the last car to derail in a few places. I found...
This is very doable. I'm planning a roughly similar project: a Utah Belt SD50 using a spare IM Cotton Belt SD40T-2 nose (no L-window cab). The...
After a break from the hobby, Russ and Daniel have motivated me to do a pair of SW1500s. I bought two of the Concor SW1200s a while ago before...
Thanks for the pics! With the new Bluford cabooses, my Union Electric 5-bay Ortner RD unit train is complete!
Got my two Mopac cabooses today. LOVE THEM! Here's hoping for a rerun with more numbers in the future. [IMG]
