Pat,
You may wish to contact Ed Flaugher. He has done several MoPac paint schemes along with Frisco, MKT and others dispalyed at several shows I have attended, OKC, Jacksonville(AR) and Plano. All his work looked very good.

Looking at the last photo, 1405 appears to have a different size doghouse. A skinner & taller.

Gentlemen, your responses to my initial request for information have far exceeded my expectations. It will take some time to digest all the information you have sent me. I am most impressed by your healthy and active Missouri Pacific Historical Society and I really want to thank you for your helpful responses.

Thank you. I have bought and just finished reading this great book. Very informative.

Thank you for posting this fantastic resource. Would anyone be able to explain the characters listed in the “business handled” column? I’m curious what T, F, A, I,O, N….etc. might indicate. Thank you again.

Hi Pat – Thanks for your reply. I’m planning to model the 1940s & 1950s, so those would work for me. Thanks again!

Is a equipment diagram available for this caboose series? It would be nice to the interior arrangement. Perhaps one could be posted here?

Thank you very much for answering my questions. If a person enters Higginsville from the east driving west on Missouri highway 20, you actually can see the right-of-way just before reaching the intersection of the Missouri 20 bypass and the entrance to the Confederate cemetery. Trees line up in almost a straight line where the rails where. According to rough data and some worn maps, the railroad bridge crossed I-70 just east of the I-70 Mo13 junction close to Mulkey Creek. Thanks again for taking time to answer my question.

Respectfully

Is that not due to there being a brake wheel on both ends of the car?
