EMD
MP15DC Locomotives from Atlas
Prototype
Information:
The 1500hp MP15DC was designed by EMD
as a replacement for the successful SW1500 switcher. The
longer frame of the MP15DC allowed for increased fuel capacity
and the use of Blomberg road trucks; increased sand capacity
was also offered as an option. The first MP15DCs were built
for Missouri Pacific in February 1974 and a total of 246
units were produced through the end of production in November
1980.
The MP 15DC is a verstile locomotive that is employed by
both large and small railroads across North America in
road freight and yard switching duties. It was also purchased
by several non-railroad corporations for use in plant switching
service.
Atlas' Model:
... includes the three different styles of long
hood that were common to the MP15DC throughout production:
standard hood, hood with square air filter box and hood
with angled air filter box (the air filter box is located
in the area immediately ahead of the cab). In addition,
various styles of hood and cab-end sand boxes are being
offered. Exhaust stacks -- both with and without mufflers
will be featured. Check out the details: Long hood sand
fill hatches will be included in either the recessed or
extended versions ... and the Rear sand fill hatches will
be offered in all three variations as per prototype. Be
sure to check out the cab roof and smokestack detail variations
shown in the photos below. Atlas
has spared no expense to offer the most detailed switcher
ever available in N scale plastic.
