I just purchased an MP Alco A-A # 205. Outside of a MP operating boxcar (I think) and a 6464 box car, are there any other cars or other made with the MP name?
I know that there was a set in 1957 (1575?) with the 205, but I dont think there was any cars in that set with MP name

IIRC:
Alas, no.
Frisco is in even worse shape, with only 5 varieties of the same 027 boxcar (all of the Texas special engines produced are Katy owned, per the location of the heralds).
And T&P? Nada. Zip.
MPC and LTI did better.
The 1575 set had the 205 AA's, 2 metal flat cars with loads (logs, pipes), a crane (6560), work caboose ( 6119), and, in my case being in the Northeast, a B&M 6464-475 boxcar. The B&M box car may been replaced with a 6112 gondola with canisters , from the factory (see catalog).
Maybe some people in the West got a Missouri Pacific boxcar? The dealer had the option of swapping the 6112 out.
I just got mine out to run at Christmas so I may do exactly that for fun.
Thank you CPF3. I have the 2 MP boxcars in my fleet. I’m not sure but I’ll probably chase those other cars. I have the gon and the crane too. Maybe I can cobble together the set.
Merry Christmas
the cars should be cheap and easy; the loads likely missing.
If you get the whole thing, I think I have an extra set box.
