Hey,

What would be the chances of athearn making a MP15ac in LIRR livery? But would you buy a model that looked like this? I know I would

I might. How many did LIRR own? And have you sent them in an email or 70 (not all at once) asking for one?

They like to repaint them rather than fixing the brakes.....ok just kidding. For 20 years lived a block away from their FreshPond yard and the PRR(I remember they had still used the catenary)line from Brooklyn. With diesel prices on the rise constantly, and everybody inspite of the afore, driving a car, I can see more freight moving by rail though NYC and the Eyeland in the future.

Proud to be DD-2itized! 1:1 scale is too unrealistic. Twins are twice as nice!
