I’d contacted Walthers twice on doing the Missouri River Eagle and was told it was on their ‘maybe’ list. I don’t recall their exact wording but this pretty much sums up their response. While I don’t like the ersatz Mopac cars it will be nice to see the PA offered again. Walthers did contact me about the correct painting of the dome car and Ed Hawkins supplied them with a Budd painting diagram.
On the positive side, by doing a Mopac passenger train, maybe the awareness of our favorite road will gain us a few new MPHS members. Most of those who purchase in our hobby don’t really care if a prototype for one road is painted in Mopac if they like the railroad they’ll buy the set.
