    Charlie: I don’t have any idea where Ed Robinson’s negatives went.

    After looking at the film and seeing two of the 1400 and 1500 mikes as oil burners, I wonder how many were oil fired?

    you should use different ladders.

    Their thickness destroy the good impression made by the model

    Really looks nice. Hard to tell if it’s a model or a real car. I remember seeing these cars running around when I was working.. I always liked the large lettering on these cars. Nice work Charlie.

    If Athearn made no changes to the shell, it wouldn’t be the right one.

    You`ll need a ph.III shell. Steward offered such a kit.

    Bill – and all,

    I kept thinking I could find a photo of a T&P Geep with the DB louvers on the side of the unit plated over with the hump still in place….I didn’t find one yet. (maybe I’m just making that up?? who knows?)
    But, I did find an excellent explanation of “The Four Stack Phenomenon” with a photo of an EMD 567 engine with the exhaust manifolds in the original configuration and the explanation of the changes the MP and others made to the exhaust. It also explains why some units would have the 4 stacks evenly spaced and others had them in two groups of two.
    I hope everyone has ‘Missouri Pacific in Color, Volume 2’ by Jim Boyd, because it’s on page 39.
    Enjoy….

    Here are a few shots I took of TP GP9’s. Three still have the dynamic brakes and four are without the dynamic brakes.

    Also a shot of KOG 252011 on ebay. It has the tall ladders, maybe one of the 250 built with a roof walk? Although it looks like in the photo the walk is gone. Doesn’t show a date.
