Although MTH's Mopac FT's have been out for some time, I finally decided to pick up a set at a show this past weekend.

Brand new never been on the track.

Here the three unit set of FT's heads up a Red Ball freight and meet a set of MTH Mopac F3's waiting at Cutoff Jct.

Now, if I could just get a set of Baldwin Babyfaced cab units added to my roster! (I'd settle for a set of Alco FA's).

Really nice looking engines Dan!

The early MOP freight and passenger units, as well as the road switchers, wore a very pleasing design. One of my fondest memories is arriving in Kansas City in 1956, in the vestibule of a Frisco Pullman from Tulsa, and swing Missouri Pacific and Wabash passenger units in their respective blue and grey paint schemes. I was stricken.

You have some right nice looking engines there.

Hi Dan,

This the best I can do with regards to the Babyfaces. I took the shot in the early 1950s.

Thanks for the image Lew, I know your photographs well.

We are fortunate to have someone who roamed the St. Louis area and captured the railroad scene!
