It is amazing how quickly one's paradigm can shift with one's modeling focus. Whereas I have been obsessed by Pacifics and 1500-class Mountains, now that I am focused on modeling the Caruthersville Branch, I am suddenly enamored with Moguls and low-series Consolidations! Thank goodness for Doug Hughes' FMIG Newsletter #21 (1979) on the site in digital fashion. I have pondered over Mogul SLSF 388 with StLM&SE caboose on page 8 of Frisco Power. It always puzzled me that SLSF 388 was not on the roster in the aforementioned book. I am very grateful for the footnotes on Doug's roster indicating scrap dates. To that end, SLSF 388's early and untimely demise is interesting. Anyone have a story to go with this mystery? Best Regards,
