Here is my 2nd switcher project, this MP15AC started out as CP Rail #1429 that I got in trade from a friend. I removed the CP letters & numbers adn added the "Indiana & Ohio" lettering, I also wanted to use that big empty space on the nose as it just was too empty so I added a I&O logo just for fun..... What do you think?  IORY87 |

It does look better with a logo on the nose. Great job overall.

The MP-15AC's were originally Milwaukee units. Now THERE is the real crime, Milwaukee units repainted SOO or CP. Or (horrors) banditized................................

Ugh, the thought of that bueatiful orange and black covered up by red. There are still a few bandit patched locos (not sure what model) in Bensenville yard in Illinois, the black patches have almost completely worn off and you can read "Milwaukee Road" on the sides again. I guess the paint they used in the 70's adn 80's was pretty good stuff to last this long.

There is slight hope that this one might get a non-red and gray new paint job. The company is based in Milwaukee, and the owner is a MRHA member...
