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.
