The BL2 was a modified F3 basically and used the same cab!.As the designer of this model put in the readme file,the unit was modified on the exterior to give the cab better vision capability for switching purposes.(Remember,this was before the Geeps ever came out!)..The BL2's were a unique contribution to American railroad history and came at a time when most roads were still hanging on to steam till "they knew if diesels would work out".

Lovely jubbly. Thats one I can shove off the backburner.Beer is not a matter of life and death. It is much more serious than that.

I could only find one photo of the Mo-Pac. Unfortunately in black and white Shall I assume the dark color is the MP dark blue and the light color white? I could use some help here... One of the guys at Diesels West http://www.dieselswest.com/ told me via email that they hoped to have a more "re-paint friendly" version of this engine soon. If it is all the same to you I would kind of like to wait for it. Abner

In regards to the MP livery you've got it except for one small detail that won't show up in a B&W photo,that's the yellow pinstripes that seperate the blue from the white/very,very light gray.You should be able to find color shots of other MP locos in that livery for color refGary S
