I've got a book about St. Louis railroading in the late 1950s that shows some MoPac passenger consists lead by a pair of PAs (with nifty blue & white stripe paint scheme). Has any manufacturer produced PA done in MoPac livery? A guy at a train show thought there were some out there in the 1990s, but I've never seen one for sale.
Thanks,

(maybe it's time I tried custom painting....)

Not a problem. If you miss out on that one, I have seen them pop up on eBay every once and a while. They are good looking units, although I have no need for one. I would have like to have seen PCM do a PA in the MoPac blue.
I also saw a picture of the Texas Eagle in San Antonio being headed up by PAs, but if I remember correctly, they were in the solid "Jenks" blue (at least that is what I think that scheme was referred to).
BTW: Good luck on the auction, if you bid. Looks like it is short on time.
