      I just thought I would open up the G Scale forum with a photo of the extent of my MoPac G Scale collection. Both made by USA Trains. For some reason not much MoPac is available in G.

        Years ago I was in the now defunct model train shop in the discount mall at Warrenton, Missouri and thought I saw an Alco FA and PA in Eagle colors in G scale. Thought they were made by USA trains or Aristo Craft. They weren’t badly done either. Anyone else remember these?

          Charlie – there are a few diesels available. I’ve seen PA and SD-40, usually more expensive than I like to spend. I’ve also seen passenger cars occasionally, but who has room for a set of those.
          I would like to see an MP caboose some day, and I have never seen one. Maybe we could do a special run in the future. Also a better ART Reefer would be nicer than the white one I have.

            A caboose would be a nifty desk or shelf display even for those of us who don’t do large scale . . . .

              An accurate G-Scale model of the 700-class caboose would be really nice. Jerry Michels

                The MoPac FA-B set was a First generation REA-Aristocraft G-scale era. They are very rare, Aristocraft, made improvements to the power trucks in later model generations, but a complete retrofit would be needed to update the power trucks to the better version.

                I would love to find a set and caboose to go with them.

                  I have been into G scale since 1990. I have several Mopac locos including 2 PAs A units and 2 B units plus a Mopac Passenger car. Also have a GP 35 Mopac. All Item where made by USA trains. I made my own Mopac caboose not accurate type but lettered for Mopac. Had a fellow who custom made decals so those are correct. later RJD
