MP 2967

I found this U30C at a train show for $40. It looked like it had been weathered with a can of Krylon brown paint at close range. I figured for forty bucks if it ran I would take it. After much weathering removal and reapplication along with a drybrush fade, this turned out to be one of my better looking Mopac motors.

Very nice modeling. I was an engineer with L&N the CSX for 41 years. We use to interchange with the MP in New Orleans and on time I got on a GE B-25 and noticed the cab did not look right. It was an EMD cab on a GE body. The engine had been in an accident and damage to the cab was beyond repair. They used an EMD cab to rebuild the engine. It was different.
