Model Railroading > Not enought MOPage on Trainorders.com

So, lets fix that.  

My train from a recent op session on a friend's pike, modelling Palestine TX to Texarkana TX.

I feel like I have righted a wrong now.

"Righted a wrong".  How?

Man it is great to see some Missouri Pacific on this side. I can't remember the last time we saw some. My second favorite line after the Santa fe! Show us more when you get a chance. The layout looks great.

the wrong is not enough MOP on trainorders.com

the right is my post of MOP on trainorders.com

After what the MoP managers did to UP and the WP, you need to hang your head sir.
The world needs less MoP not more.

Go MOPAC! Nice to see Missouri Pacific models.

After what the UP did to the MoPac by taking them over, more power to the ex MoPac! I should post photos of my MoPac's that I painted and detailed. The UP destroyed a good running railroad.Uncle Pete's railroad = GREED!

Ignore the old fuddy-duddy grousing about the merger....we are not modeling the management, or someone's perception of management.  The pre-merger MP was a fine railroad with excellent track, equipment and technology.  Having grown up in Mopac territory, I have had the pleasure of knowing many MP employees in all departments that were proud of their railroad and enjoyed their jobs.  They were not thrilled with the post-merger UP company either.

Keep up the good work, and keep posting Missouri Pacific on TO!

WWM, the second photo is a winner.
At first I thought we were going to see your 1/8th loco.

Nice layout. More MoPac always welcome!

I thought about replying to the comment concerning MP management, but thought better of the idea especially after reading this reply. Anyone still grousing around after a merger that happened over 30 years ago has too much free time on their hands. I worked in a location that was a blend of MP and UP employees and a new employee, far removed from the merger, remarked that the MP guys had a sense of pride and camaraderie that he never saw in the prior UP guys.
