A scene close to its end. Per a CP employee, the bandits are all due for paint before the end of 2008, which will end the long standing era (23 years) of former Milwaukee units stuck in the timewarp. |

Bandits |
| Description: |
A rarity indeed, but somehow in a timewarp. Two bandit MP15AC's drift downgrade towards the switch at Marshall St. With 2009 around the corner, and the CP getting rid of about 15 I believe, the time may finally come for the ageless MP Bandits. These units have worn this patch job since the demise of the Milwaukee in 1985, and recieved them no later than 1987. |
