Does anyone out there model N scale 'contemporary' Mopac, if so what units do you utilize for your fleet? Thanks in advance, Justin May
Casey, Have a look at the Mopac forum, you may be able to help me out in there as well. Thanks, Justin
justin, lets see i have 10 gp-50's which is 1/3 of thier fleet in both schemes. 3 u30c's ,1 in yellow and 2 in blue. several sd40 and 40-2's in both schemes. 4 gp35's in blue. and i've got this one oddball dash 9 in the eagle blue and gray scheme. unfortunatle the rest of my fleet went to the birds and is the ns with a few kcs units thrown in. ------------------ fly with route of the eagles.rock n roll all night and railroad everyday!
I guess I've got "minority stock." So far I've got 2 SD 40-2's, a U30C, a GP 38-2 (bad ol' Life Like) an SD 60 in blue, an SD 60M in Eagle colors and a pair of GP 15-1's, though one's still in the shop. My pride, I suppose, is a 53 car (so far) coal train of relettered Precision Masters/Red Caboose 5 bay hoppers. Also got (and love) a pair of the MArshall Shop's Texas Eagle cars. They're awesome kits! ------------------ Jenks - the REAL Big Blue

Justin, i looked at your mopac questions--i wish i could answer them properly---im still a beginner when it comes to the mopac--sorry
You can use just about anything you want. If, for example, the Missouri Pacific became the dominant partner in it's merger with the UP, you would have all the old fleet that was MOPAC blue, plus transition schemes and UP colors on everything the Up had, plus all their mergers since, like SP and DRGW, etc.. I currently roster an A-B-A set of Alco FA's, several GP-38's, SD-40's, GP-40's, SD-50, SD-60/60M's, a couple of C-36-7's. Most carry the "Double Eagle" scheme, as I love that big screaming eagle on the long hood! I also have MOPAC auto racks, intermodal cars and containers, vehicles, and I love the "Red Caboose" new 60' boxcars. My next purchase is a set of Kato SD-90MAC's, all to be painted "Double Eagle" blue! MOPAC 1
