    THANK you! There are two new views of old 1231, the engine my great grandfather, Millard N. Jaques worked on. He was a fireman, brakeman and later a conductor.
    I have more photos I'll add later.

    Loco #1227 would be pretty easy to model. It didn't say FRISCO anywhere on it and only had the numbers on the headlight. I wonder why this was?

    Wow Keith, you are the man. I searched high and low for one. I thought it might have an oil bunker! Thank you very much! Now to find a model... ~mike c

    Actually the Bachmann Spectrum 2-8-0 is a really nice running loco and can be made into a very reasonable facsimile.

    Agree with Keith. I had a Spectrum 2-8-0 for about 6-months until I decided to go all diesel. Very smooth runner, I think has a belt drive. I believe it is based on an IC prototype, but not far off from the SLSF.

    Folks, thanks for the recommendations. I saw several 2-8-0's on eBay for cheap prices, then noticed they weren't Spectrum. I'll start saving my quarters for the nicer versions. Mike C

    The Bachman 2-8-0 is no longer in the Spectrum line--it has been moved to the standard line. So they may be the same loco. Beware, though, that it's not one of the old Bachman steamers. Caveat Emptor.

    WOW, Keith -- That is a real neat looking branch line type loco.
    I like that almost as much as I love the 2-10-0's.

    That must be some nasty water full of minerals, unless they had a heavy handed weathering person...

    A retired SL-SF engineer, now long deceased, living in Dixon told me he ran 1265 as a Dixon Hill helper engine when he earned his nickname "Polecat". They found a momma skunk and babies in a culvert and messed with her. She got even. I used the Bachmann Spectrum 2-8-0 to model one of the heavier ALCOs, number 1290. I scratch built a brake person dog house and put a female figure in it. Others have used it for the similar BLW engines between 1266-1305.

    If I ever finish the darned thing, I'm working on one of that series now. I started with an old PFM ATSF 2-8-0. I'll have to take a picture or two of it.

    Consolidations 1200-1222 were built by Baldwin in 1907 and originally assigned to the CSNO&P (Colorado Southern New Orleans & Pacific). This line was controlled by the Frisco from 1905-1913. (See Lloyd E. Stagner's book "Steam Locomotives of the Frisco Line". Locomotives here went over to Frisco in ~1913.

    His book notes a number of the consolidations were rebuilt to oil burners in the early 1920s, but does not document the the locomotives in this sub-series (unless I am missing). Does anyone know if/which were converted to oil burners?

    Thanks,

    -Bob T.
