Did the MP ever have any of these cars?

I’ve got several kits of each I have had for a long time and have not built yet, and do have the renumbering decals.

You Proto guys have ruined me. If these aren’t right I’m getting rid of them.

Pat –
The last car in the group is a good representation of the 55-ton open hoppers built for MoPac by ACF in the series 58750-59749. There are some variances in hand brakes, but the car is generally accurate. These cars had a long service life on the MoPac, many receiving freight car red paint and 4- (or 5-) foot emblems in the early sixties.

Not sure about the other cars.
