Public Deliver Track has New Preorder options for MP, T&P, and DRG for Golden Gate Depot Heavy Weight offerings !!!  DRG now offered in yellow OR green. MP says blue ("Jenks Blue” or incomplete description?) and T&P shows as blue and Grey (too bad no green option for MP, T&P too.). These 3 roads scarce as hens teeth in these colors/ hvy. wts. in “O” Gauge. (Peterson Supply does have hvy wt MP coaches.). I hope these offerings are supported as I don’t know when we will see them again. They can be used to make interesting prototypical mixed consists.  Multiple baggage cars can become express/mail consists. Scott Mann says as many road #s as orders merit. Have fun with this. I just have to figure out how to make my “budget” work for this.

Thanks for the heads up. I will probably get a few T&P. Sure wish they came with modernized roofs. Some green mopacs and T&P’s would be terrific. From what I have seen in pictures of the blue/grey paint era the roofs on most equipment were modernized to blend with the light weight equipment. But I have seen some baggage and RPO’s and maybe a business car with clear story roofs in the blue/grey paint. These usually show up in pictures on the westerner but I’m still looking through my research material. Like to have a little more info on the Missouri pacific.

I believe baggage  and RPO are 18 and observation 20ish. I would have like green mp tps but Jenks Blue mps and blue grey tps is better than nothing. And green DRG not done. And I’ll have to be happy with clerestory roofs. I’ve reserved green DRG bag and RPO, 4 car T&P, and 2mp bag, RPO and diner.  The blue  MPs will mix into MTH 5 car streamline consist I have and T&P can be a basis for another consist with the MTH mp, and blue mp. The mix is the fun part. I throw I. 2 Peterson Supply mp way Wt coaches I have for more fun. So many combination options too contend with / buy. Hope this will fly. So many cars to possibly buy.
