I don’t have a delivery date yet but I’ve ordered several of the new and correct Mopac U23B from Atlas. DCC and sound. Per Tom Austin these are 100% accurate for MP. Missouri Pacific Historical Society members will see a generous discount off the retail price. Unit numbers we have coming are 2257 and 2263. Image below shows the Eagle under the cab and large numbers on the hood.

2257 and up were among the first new engines delivered in the “modern” MoPac paint scheme with the screaming eagle under the cab window and large numerals on the hood.
Hi Charlie,
Do you have an estimate how much these might go for $$$ wise? And whether they will have AAR Type-B trucks?

I haven’t received an invoice yet but I search to see what web stores are selling them for and mark down the price from there to give Missouri Pacific Historical Society members the best deal and make some money for the society. The trucks that are those shown in the Atlas drawing are correct for the series they are importing.

As Charlie said…the numbers chosen are “really close” to MP U23B’s of this variant. We have been suggesting that they do a Phase 3 U23B; with the centered door latches…which would require a new hood…and would let them use the rest of the phase II B version they are using. It’s an excellent model overall…and I like to start with undecorated models myself.
MoPac had 39 (IIRC) of the U23B’s on their roster. So, there’s a pretty good reason to have a couple no matter what or where on the MP system you are modeling.
