7DA44939-CC34-4397-A294-E6D2CB7E29EEBorn and raised in Missouri and living for years just feet from a Missouri Pacific branch line I often asked myself why I never Modeled the MoPac. My Grandpa and Great Uncle worked in the car shops in DeSoto Mo in the late 1940s and 50s. My Great Uncle retired from there in the early 1970s. I’m about to start a O scale Missouri Pacific project soon but would like to see what kinda Missouri Pacific stuff you have. You can post anything Missouri Pacific Memorabilia, Engines, Rolling Stock, Cabooses, Trucks, Trailers, Piggybacks (real and model), Buildings, Tracks, Trestles, Warehouses anything that has to do with the MoPac. So let’s see them. I’ll kick us off with a Weaver Boxcar I got several years ago.

Nice custom caboose. Thanks for posting. Is that Indian Creek outside of Potosi, Mo. I use to haul ore out of the mines near Indian Creek on hwy 185.

Thank you!

No, the North Indian Creek here is one of tributaries of the White River, now partly underneath the waters of Table Rock Lake.  There is an extensive backstory to my layout founded in my own personal and family history in addition to my serious interest in the Ozarks and their history.

I do have an interest in the old Lead Belt area, too, actually, and a previous layout of mine was meant to represent the Iron Mountain.  I am in the midst of a project kitbashing an ex-Iron Mountain 4-8-0--well, it has lain fallow for over a year now for various reasons, but I *will* finish it someday.

Your welcome hope to see you get going on the Iron Mountain RR I’ve lived in the Lead Belt area all my life. I also have fished in the Indian Creek outside of Branson beautiful country
