    Hello Y'all,

    I'm looking for any information, ie., drawings, pictures, etc., of any Frisco tank car from 1885-1910, Non-Hi Walk version. If you have any, please contact me.


    Thanks,

    Manny

    Bringing this topic to the top. I have a picture of a Frisco hi-walk that is NOT MOW or DIESEL FUEL ONLY. In other words, it's revenue. I am having the decal made. I am looking for the 1885-1910 variant. They have to of existed. ORER's seem incomplete. IF anyone can help, I'd appreciate it.

    Thanks,

    Manny

    The 1908 ORER says the Frisco had one 8,000 gallon capacity, 40', 80,000 lbs., tank car, numbered 94513. Anyone seen a picture of this tank? Please help if you have.

    Thanks!

    I have a potential source for Frisco 190075, a 1909 tank car. Hope it comes through.

    Karl,

    Thank you for that link. I actually have a photo of the cars when they were first put into service and are on the list of cars to have decals made up. Micro scale already does the diesel fuel only version so it will be very easy to do. That tank car is known as a hi-walk tank car.

    The series I am after are pre-hi-walk tanks and I may have secured a photo of one. I'm awaiting its arrival.

    Again, many thanks Karl. You are a big asset to the board.
