Wow, these should be very eye-catching.  It looks like a few of the MP ones are still in MOW service on the UP, e.g.:

That would be a nice scheme to offer, with all those red accents.  A few BLMA electrical cabinets would make a cool 'load' for them too.  This van will be a nice complement to the one other caboose on my roster:

Don't know exactly as some Transfer cabs were actually built from freight cars in the mid/late 50's. Steve at Bluford told me they have a boatload of schemes to run. While they want to get every scheme prototypical, there will be some close enough.

The MP/UP cabs were built as road cabs. I believe the MILW cabs were the same. MP figured they didn't need the bunks and whatnot as well.

Fantastic news - looking forward to seeing more about these in coming weeks.

I have my fingers crossed that releases of the MoPac cabs will include some lettered for shortlines that picked them up secondhand, like the Willamette and Pacific and Camas Prairie.

Cab #5 is closest to an N9. The N11 had a slightly shorter platform if memory serves. I hope they leave the tool boxes off the CR version.

According to some post on the other forums, first run will include UP and SP.  WSOR was mentioned as a possibility.

Texas Mexican and GBW would be nice.  (Close enough works for me!)
