Description

Railroad Short Name: MP

Missouri Pacific (MP) “Screaming Eagle 1985” represents a great 1980s repaint scheme.  These examples were part of the large 157 car 1968 order from Greenville that were repainted at the MoPac’s Desoto, MO car shops.  The “Screaming Eagle” is one of the most iconic railroad logos of the 1980s and it looks spectacular in large format on the right side of the car.  All of the car stencil data is carefully reproduced in MP’s distinctive typestyle, including reporting marks, capacity data and “SHOCK CONTROL” cushioning stencils.  The model features accurate Keystone Center-of-Car Cushioning (COCC) and full truck-mounted brake piping and details, just like the prototype.  The ends of the COCC draft gear extend beyond the ends of the car and feature separately-applied coupler centering device handle detail.  The crossover platforms are Morton replacement style.  These cars roll on beautiful 100-Ton “Low Profile” Barber S-2-C trucks with accurate rotating “Timken” roller bearing caps.  Yes, the industry’s best trucks include road-specific rotating cap truck details!  This MP scheme features an accurate return route to GTW in Flint, MI (GM Service!).
