I'm wondering if you have any more information about the wreck in 1876 next to lost mountain. Me and my cousin swim that hole quite often and one if the train cars is visible and we have been pulling up train parts and bridge parts left and right off of the bottom. We are very curious and would like to know more about the wreck

Yes. LOL...I changed my username today. It reflects my link with the Frisco better than the SABRR did. How do you like the mouse pads?

Hay Pat, my email is on your message board here. Send me an email. I bought 3 cabooses from Rick McCelan to day off HO yardsales. I am thinking of posting a couple of SLSF waffle box cars. There too long for my pike. I found a couple of those like, hat or lapel pins, just wondered if your boy might collect
them. I used to have a bunch of those, but give most of them away. Hope to hear from you.

I'm not challenged or anything but!

Got your email, but I never know where they go. I am thinking about going to the Sunshine Region NMRA convention in Tampa may 18. Not sure yet. There was an old guy who used to listen to the Cardinal's on the radio nearly every night. Now thinking he was a Bush fan, more than the Cardinal's. I listened with him, I was only about 10. All the old guys Musial, Maris, Gibson and those guys. I had their ball cards, most went on my bike with a close pin. those were good days. I got all my track in on my layout, it's small 9by9. I ran across a extra Frisco switch key the other day going through some items. Let me know if you don't have one and would like to have it. No charge.

Pat, I sent a message, but still do not know that it is actually sent. I don't know how to retrieve my sent messages. Sorry if I have sent this to you a dozen times.
I have not looked for the Billboard yet, because I am just finishing my bench work and putting down foam. I will start on roadbed next week. I would really like to get the Frisco billboard from you. Let me know the cost and postage and I will send it to you. Thanks for remembering that I wanted one.

Pat:
In your 4-4-0 message, you mentioned your album on the Salem Branch. I'm still learning my way here. Where woild I find it?

Pat,

Nice picture's of Union Pacific #3985. Thanks for sending me some. I wish I was there to see it in person.

No problem, Tom. I fixed it by just barely touching the frog a few times with a Dremel. That seems to have taken care of it. My turnouts are Atlas. I have an issue now with a Custom no. 8 leading off the main onto the roundhouse and passenger tracks. My short wheel base units seem to short out while passing over it when it's aligned straight. The 4-4-0 is the worst and even the older SD40-2 has a little trouble running over it at slow speeds. If you have any suggestions or know of any manufacturers that make better ones, let me know.

Thanks,
Pat
