I was going through my Yahoo e-mail and saw this thread, along with one about stock cars! I recently purchased an Accurail AAR triple hopper and 40' stock car...
If you'll read Ed's comments, the Accurail hopper is fine for MP except for the fact they painted it wrong! For the paint scheme and era, it should be black....
The more I think about it, this is a fairly viable approach for those wanting a MP stockcar without going to resin. The one I'm kitbashing is for M&StL...

I made a little PDF file with pics and notes on modeling a MP stockcar from the P2K Mather one. Lifelike's site is no longer up and Walthers hasn't...
When the budget allows I will have to get one of those new baggage cars and paint it. I also want one of those cabooses Jerry was taking about. Also, Jerry,...
Thank yoooouuuu, JERRY! I have several Mather cars and I've been trying to figure out what to do with them. I'll try to keep notes and see how it turns out. ...
Short of having lots of prototype pics, Al (Westerfield) has a lot of model shots on his site inc the end shots I used etc. If you want to go that far, the...
I assume you mean the soon to be released Walthers ACF baggage cars. They should be available painted Pullman green but unlettered which is what I ordered or...
Are you talking about the crossmembers on the underframe? I may save that challenge for a later day. ;) Do you think I'll still get the effect of the MP car...
Exactly! David jerryglow2 <jerryglow@...> wrote: I assume you mean the soon to be released Walthers ACF baggage cars. They should be available painted...
Yes, a bit of a typo. The crossmembers are spaced differently. I think you should be able to see the difference looking at the pix on the Westerfield site. ...
Walthers is supposed to be at the Cocoa Beach meet next weekend. I wonder if they'll have one with them. I doubt I'll get an answer but I intend to ask what...
Hi all - Happy New Year - This a bit belated, but I've been away from my computer. I was in Ft. Worth on Friday, 12/30, and saw the Mopac "heritage" unit, UP ...
It would be nice if Walthers painted some in Eagle colors. It would save me some work. But it won't hurt to get back into kitbashing and painting again. The...
Greetings, I would like to ask the group's assistance on some basic research for our model railroad design. As you'll see, we're fairly new to modeling a ...
Mike, Give me your phone number off list, I can give you a few ideas That is the line I plan to model when I clean out the basement Tom Stolte Oddballs Decals ...
Hi Mike, Your best starting point is a book by Mike Bartels "Missouri Pacific, River and Prairie Rails: The MoPac in Nebraska" published by South Platte Press...
Mike, I agree with Dick Ryker, start with Mike Bartels' book. When I started modeling the MoPac I debated whether I was going to model the Union to Lincoln...

Group Some time ago there were decald for a MP AS 16, and a MP/MoIll RS 1/2/3 that were being offered through the MPHS I think. Dose anyone know if there are...
