Reply To: Tangent Mopac Flatcars with bulkheads

[Webmaster]

The paint scheme Tangent chose for these cars is early post-merger and certainly reflects UP ownership even though the two mechanical departments were still mostly separate. A “true” MoPac scheme would have periods after the M and P and the font, if not different would be smaller. Also, you will note the UP car type code (starts with F) which the MP never used prior to the merger.

I may buy one or both of these cars. But, they will get a rework on the decals if I do. I really have no desire to model anything post-merger.
