      Mike,

      Could you send me an email at [email protected]? I’d like to include you on an email to Circus City to see about doing just that. Thanks!

        Thanks Mike! I have worked with Circus City in the past, they do good work. I do recall that is custom jobs were priced by the full sheet of decal paper, so when I ordered a set of decals for MP heavyweight cars I got a whole sheet’s worth.

          Jeff,

          I paid a guy I know to print a few of each type up for me in N- they look excellent! I’m working on a USRA 2-8-2 making it look more like MP 1301, I will share some photos here once I get the doghouse on.

              Jeff,

              I think it looks good as well. Would you be interested in sharing the file or printing copies in N scale?

              Thanks,

              David

                Ted,

                The car number I have is I-GN 17144. I’m fine with doing a re number job with decals if you happen to find any photos of an ARA car in MOW service.

                  Ted,

                  Thanks for the pointer on keeping cars in a pool of similar capacity. Wheels of Time just a announced 50′ exterior post flat roof RBL’s in N, so I think I will be able to use those in MP and SL-SF to round out a small fleet.

                    Ted and Charlie,

                    Thank you for your information. I had never really considered that the MP having cars in pools for breweries that were off line. I did some searching online and found some information that indicated Coors had a pool of 62 foot PC&F RBL’s that had cars from BN, Santa Fe as well as MP. Do either of you know if the pools required identical cars or was it just sufficient for a car to be an RBL?

                    The reason why I ask is there are several models of 50′ RBL’s in N scale like the Atlas FGE car and the Wheels of Time PC&F car, which I could add to a multi road pool of cars.

                      Pat,

                      I’ve seen a few photos the 2-8-0’s owned by St. L, B &M lettered Gulf Coast Lines on the tender. The lettering was a sans serif font, and by my guess was either white or yellow.
