MTH announces MP-15DC and MP15AC diesels, plus our special runs!!

Conrail??

I'd be in for both Beth. Steel loco's

I’m in for MRS and I’d do MoPac.  Thanks

Beth, I like the L.E.F. and C.

A quick search shows Atlas HO MP MP15 in Jenks Blue with the Buzz Saw. Atlas was usually true to being prototypical. A deeper dive is needed.
I’d be in for a MoPac !!! 👍😜

SOO is taken.  I'll be steve nelson is doing it, but IDK.  I put in for MoPac, with the screaming eagle logo.  If ppl tell me theyd rather have the buzz saw logo, I can change it. 

Makes no difference to me, Beth.  Any port in a storm when it comes to MoPac switchers.

We are in for MoPac MP15DC.

The 4 special run MP-15's we will be doing are MoPac, PBNE, Delmarva Central, and Manufacturers Rwy.

I’m game for either way too Beth. BTW the screaming Eagle is on a buzz saw.  I actually like the small white letters at one o’clock from the buzz that says MoPac.
I’m in for 1.

Ah so, (not to deviate from your thread), but you say you went to Fond du Lac to see the Soo Line colors.  Hmmm, don’t remember seeing you prowling around rails there, but then I bailed about 1964.  My earliest recollections of the SOO date to the late ‘40’s/early ‘50’s when I would stay at my grandparents’ home on Forest Ave.  I vividly recall being lulled to sleep at night by the sounds of the Soo steamers pushing long freights up Hamilton Hill south of town with the assist of a second steamer on the tail end.  In those days, the best the Soo had “colorwise” were brown & yellow F units & really old & ugly coaches on a once a day each way passenger train.

The majority of the train action in Fondy was on the C&NW to the east of the Soo tracks, & we young’uns would spend the better part of the day sitting on the station’s baggage carts watching lots of steamers & diesels go through.  Will never forget the afternoon my Foreman grandfather boosted me up & into the cab of a diesel switcher & I sat on engineer, “old man” Crowley’s,” lap - hand on throttle, etc. & with Crowley’s assistance guided the loco to the C&NW roundhouse in North Fond du Lac located next to the Soo Line shops.  Yea, some 75 years later & can’t remember yesterday, but remember the event & Crowley’s name like it happened today.

If you can please request different road numbers from the Atlas O run of MoPac MP15DC's. They did road numbers 1539, 1541, and 1537.

I don't think they had any with just the buzzsaw and big screaming eagle. I think it was the screaming eagle buzzsaw under the cab.

These would have gone great with a MoPac Magor caboose on a transfer job.

Yes to all the above.
Different road numbers.
Eagle on the Buzzsaw - see above pic.
A Magor caboose would be super !!!!!!!!

Some variation, if not the exact model, of any of these,

The A&S SW1500 is scheduled to be made in the next run of these engines.   It will be our special run.

I looked at the Port of Montreal MP-15's.  Colorful, but i dont think enough ppl are familiar with it.

CN never had any MP15's or SW1500's.  Their late switcher fleet was SW1200rs's, built by GMD.  GMD-1's are interesting. No one has ever made them in  O scale, and i wouldnt hold my breath as they were almost all made for CN.  a few for Northern Alberta Railway, and a few to shortlines second hand.

That A&S paint scheme is very cool.  Looking forward to it.
