I haven’t seen a MP version of the Accurail 2-bay ACF to see which road numbers they selected, however without an upper rib stiffener, the model would appears to represent an ACF 2970 of which the Mopac only had 100 – T&P 706000-706099 later MP 706000-706099. No C&EI cars. The C&EI cars were ACF 2971 cuft which which were over 3 feet longer than a 2970. I haven’t seen a post about accuracy/review of the car. Athearn also produces the ACF 2970 and just recently announced a new run of the Mopac cars – I think 5 total cars.
