Missouri-Kansas-Texas U23Bs by Atlas

I never posted pictures of these commissioned models on my old website, but I am including them now for completion.

These HO-Scale Missouri-Kansas-Texas U23Bs, #351 & 352, are Atlas models that I was commissioned to work on in November 2007.

They were stock models that simply needed their handrails installed and their Accumate couplers replaced with Kadee couplers.

The handrails were black as they were on the prototypes, but where the handrails overlapped the green or yellow they  were painted to blend in, as on the prototypes. The vertical handrails at the steps were also painted yellow.

The model of MKT #351 also had a damaged horn that also had to be replaced.
