    Nicely done Bill! I was fortunate to buy several of Joe’s HO-scale water tank models from his wife a few years back. Now my steam consists REALLY look MoPac.

    Mitch, I forgot to mention that they are in the Company Store under CD/DVD and on the second page. The title is “Data CD – Employee Timetables for 1941 and 1955” Jerry

    Hopefully this will help. IT is an Excel file I developed some years back on the various Missouri Pacific Divisions and Districts. Also, The MPHS should still have a CD/DVD for sale that has a copy of every division during the transition era.

    This is a really interesting question Charlie, and I have not given it a lot of thought. Perhaps a closer look at what other, more well documented railroads were using at the time could help. I am surprised you did just pull out your Iron Mountain equipment register from 1895!!! 😆

    Looking good. This is a tough conversion, but it will be worth the effort to have an E7 with portholes. Jerry Michels

    Tangent tank cars are amazing models. I have a tendency to buy them even if I don’t have a specific industry or shipper. They are considered bridge traffic. Jerry

    No ag uses I can think of unless for grain fumigation or large-scale water purification. Grain fumigation was typically with a bromine compound.

    Nate and Ron, This is exactly the model I have. Mine is painted black, which I think is correct for the 1950s before the renumbering, but it gets in in the ballpark. This was a real help. Thanks so much. Jerry

    Hi Charlie,

    I think before we decide on a specific depot, we need to have a list of the laser kits that are already on the market. ANB still lists a number of them, there is the Butler Depot, and at least on other whose name I forget (Cleaver?).

    Most of ANB’s kits are Iron Mountain ancestry, so generically, I would think a smaller Kansas or central Missouri depot would be a good choice. Unfortunately, I would not be in the market for another depot since my layout has what it needs. But then again I am easily tempted….

    Welcome Steve. The MPHS is a great resource, filled with friendly people. Are you primarily an historian, modeler,….? Jerry Michels

    Just goes to show the incredible value of our Archive. Ten years ago this would not be so quick, if even possible. Just a note that if Missouri Pacific fans and historians want this sort of information to be even more available and of such great quality, please note Kevin’s column in the latest Eagle and get behind the new initiative to build the trust fund for the archive with your dollars. It can be simple and pretty painless these days to set up a recurring monthly payment to the MPHS for the archive. Just think if 100 of us would donate $10/month. That thousand dollars would make the archive blossom.

    It would be wonderful to see this as a model. Sadly, I tried to find plans a number of times and always struck out. Good luck, Gene. Maybe you will find some information. Jerry

    Charlie, Did you ever see anything run on the Warsaw Branch? Jerry
