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.
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 ☺️👍

@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.

That SD40-2 is sweet. My favorite MP diesel after the Eagle E7/8.

Lots of MoP diesels on this thread, few steamers. This is too bad, as there are available some 3RO steamers that could be good stand-ins for MP power, right out of the box - though a paint job and/or a decal job may be called for. The MP liked what the Southern did with its Ps-4 4-6-2's (essentially a USRA Heavy Pacific boiler utilizing a USRA Light Pacific frame and smaller drivers), and they had some built along those lines, and the 2 roads' 4-6-2's favor quite a bit, at least in a certain class. An MTH PS-4 with Elesco, repainted, could make a more-than-decent stand-in for a certain class of MP 4-6-2's.
Also, MP had some USRA Light Mountain based (somewhat larger drivers; a bit longer) 4-8-2's. Lionel's USRA Mountain would make a presentable stand-in.
BTW - I worked for a railroad 15 years (in the home office) and never hear the clerks and others use the term "MoPac" when the road came up, such as in routing and reporting. They always said "Yeah, that car was handed off to the MoP on the 15th....", or some such. These weren't rail fans, of course, and the road was the "mop".
