Missouri Pacific Lines Let’s see them.

Nice group of rolling stock Tim !!!  Especially your Fleet of cabooses !!!! I’m envious of that - I’ve Trolled for years to get an acceptable MP caboose (didn’t like the Trainman offering) and Finally found a MP subsidiary T&P (MTH).  MP and T&P cabooses are Quite Scarce !!!!!                  I’ve not seen that piggyback before. Nice but Pushing 90’ scale would be challenging on my 072 & 096 loop. I need to pay more attention to Weaver cars. What you have here would definitely expand the diversity of my MP/T&P cars.
Thanks for the caboose link !!!  Quite nice !!!!!  You might add a link to your kitbash diesel thread. It’s quite good and I’m sure it would be Appreciated with the participants in this thread !!!

Cheers !!!!!! 🙂😜

Thanks!  Here's the link to the Mopac (ex Rock Island) GP38-2 project:

Boy. Where are the MP fans ??? Out fishing at Lake of the Ozarks or Table Rock ?????? I guess I Gotta stir the pot !!! 🤔😳😜

I spent some time over the weekend upgrading to fixed pilots and Kaydees for my MP and T&P E8s. I’m prepping them out in anticipation of the upcoming Golden Gate Sunset MP and T&P Texas Eagles  !!! My MP E6 is ready. Only my MP Alco need to be upgraded.
Cheers !!! 😜

Any MP fans still kicking out there ????  Let’s see if I can get this going again.

Here’s a couple of heavyweight baggage cars in Jenks blue.  These will see use in an Express/mail train with my to be delivered (hope by January) 3rd Rail E6 in Jenks blue.

These are MTH Premier 18” cars custom painted for me by Harry Heike.

Yes we’re still here thanks for sharing I think we’re just busy at least I am.

Comparing my Atlas and MTH MoPac 4 axle power.

Decided my Katy / WP power needed some love too!

Here’s a MP Mail/express.  Visible Atlas F3 AB, Atlas T&P storage mail 40’ box, Pecos River 50’ double door box.  Hard to see express reefers and baggage cars trailing.
Cheers 😜

Great thread!  I grew up not far from DeSoto and had friends and relatives that worked at the Mopac car shops.  Years ago I'd chase trains over at Dupo, IL and around the St Louis metro area.  I'm slowly building up an O scale roster for retirement (most of my collection is N scale).  Here are a few pics of some things I have.  A modified Weaver GP38-2, a kit-bashed short bay window caboose, a rural depot in MP trim, and one of my Atlas GP15-1s.

Tim sorry for the so late reply nice pics thanks for sharing and I did the same thing the past two years I’ve bought and saved and built my O Scale empire the way I wanted. Last year I retired after driving a Tractor Trailer for over 33 years got a couple seasonal jobs and now it’s time to play with trains.

Here’s some pics of my Lionel GP7 and a video

The latest release from Atlas

The latest release from Atlas

Very nice thanks for sharing

I went through the 3 pages of this thread to make sure no one has previously mentioned this. The Lionel catalog was the 1st time I had ever heard about the Missouri Pacific. I'll bet that for many of us northeasterners, that was also true for them.

For me, it was the '57 catalog......this neat O27 Alco set. One of our modular group members actually received this set as his 1st set.

My friend has said that he spent his days loading and unloading the logs and pipes with the Erie crane.....

For those a little older (I turn 70 in June), I suspect the 1954 catalog with the beautiful MoPac boxcar.....

Have a great day, everyone!

Peter

Just a FYI for any late comers - Golden Gate Depot is about ready to close reservations for its MP and T&P Texas Eagle offering. Check out their webpage for details. 🤔

Cheers 😉

Here’s the latest addition to my MP “Empire” - MTH RK MP15DC with proto 3 / special run from PDT.  Decent detail and good value for the $ !!!!!!!

Looks good TrainBub!  I wish it was offered in 2 rail.

I went 3 rail early on as there was just more choice - more 3rail models offered.

Some recent MP fun.
ALL Atlas.  
F3 A powered, B unpowered, GP7 unp, GP15 unp (gutted conventional).

Cheers 😉

MTH GP35 from last year and MTH caboose from this past June (custom run for Berwyn’s Trains)

Nice!

FYI. The current issue of the MPHS publication “The Eagle” was deliver to me today,  8-26-23.

It has a Great !!! article on MPs and T&Ps “Planetary Domes”.  I highly recommend this issue. 👍 It runs from pg 14-39 in the 48 pg issue.  

Cheers 😉

Very cool Train Bub ☺️👍

Some MoPac in Legos at the NMRA National Train Show this weekend in Grapevine, TX.

@Texas Eagle 77 - I was also at the NMRA show yesterday and I must admit what that Lego club does with Lego trains is amazing!!  The Austin HI-Rail club also had a fabulous modular layout.

Don,

I'm glad you enjoyed our layout! My dad and I built the city scene.

A shame this thread goes dormant. 🫢😞  Here’s a new kick start from the recent (December 23) GGD MP Texas Eagle.  Beautiful issue !!!!!

Cheers 😉
