Old topic, and a little tangential, but figured I might chip in. If 3D printed tenders and modifications for various commercially available Mikes are potential options, why not also 3D print a boiler for the MoPac’s fat-boilered 1400 Mikes to fit on existing commercially available chassis? If we’ll hand-wring over tenders, why not get the whole engine right too?

Can you narrow down your question to a more limited timeframe? As example are you asking about the 1940’s or 1970’s? Lots of mergers involved during the decades. Thanks

Apologies for not specifying-was looking at the 1940s-1950s.

Found some pertinent info for steam whistles fr an early Q&A in The Eagle if this interests anyone. Apparently all heavy passenger and dual-use power-the 6600s, 1150s, 4-8-2s and 4-8-4s-had steamboat chimes. Some of the 6400s got them later on as well. The 2200s had something close to a Baldwin standard chime. No pure freight power (2-8-2s, 2-10-2s, 2-8-4s, 2-8-0s) had steamboat chimes.

The 2-10-0s ran on the NOT&M; by the semi-modern building in the back, my first guess is Houston or Corpus Christi. It’s almost certainly in Texas

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

Thank you Jerry! I will get a copy when I get a chance.

Bill,

Appreciate the tip; I will see if I can get a hold of copies of those. Thank you!

Hi Charlie,

Do you have an estimate how much these might go for $$$ wise? And whether they will have AAR Type-B trucks?

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.

P. S. Please sign your posts. We’d like to know who you are.

That is helpful, thank you for sharing!

As for the CD/DVD, I wasn’t able to find one that directly addressed divisions-would you happen to know the specific CD’s name?

And my bad-I’ll be sure to do that from now on!
