FYI, I will be listing the following three Frisco items on HOYARDSALE tomorrow evening (Monday). If any in frisco.org are interested in these, let me know via a private message to meteor910, or via an e-mail to meteor910@mindspring.com These are each Athearn "Blue Box" HO items, all nicely decorated in Frisco red/orange & white. o Athearn #4642 - Powered GP38-2, SLSF 671, MINT in original box with all parts and instruction sheet. It has been out of the box once for me to look it over, tested (OK) but otherwise never been run. Athearn price was $42. Price to frisco.org members - $31.00 o Athearn #4480 - Dummy SD40-2, SLSF 954, MINT in original box with all parts and instruction sheet. It has been out of the box once for me to look it over, never been on the layout. Athearn price was $34.50. Price to frisco.org members - $14.00 o An Athearn custom decorated shell I bought two years ago on eBay - Athearn GP50, custom decorated very nicely as SLSF 3100. Nice shade of red/orange, handrails installed, correctly painted, numberboards all correctly show 3100. Very nice paint job. Athearn horn is missing, but I'll throw one in - painted red/orange - but you ought to replace it with the Details West AH-191 (Leslie 5-chime RS5TRF) casting. Athearn chassis & trucks included, but the truck hardware (brake cylinders) is missing (you should order Athearn part #46037, $4). Chassis also needs couplers. Athearn price for an undec GP50 dummy is $30. Price to frisco.org members for this rare decorated SLSF GP50 - $20.00 Only one of the Frisco GP50's was in red/orange & white colors - this is the one! Shipping will be via USPS Priority Mail; only actual USPS cost charged to buyer. USPS insurance also available if desired - $1.70 for $50 coverage, $2.15 for $100. Payment via PayPal or USPS money order preferred. Let me know if anyone is interested. Thanks! Ken
Here's a little bonus for frisco.org members regarding the three HO locomotives I have mentioned above are for sale: Any frisco.org member who buys ANY TWO of the above Athearn Frisco Blue Box items will also receive one Details West AH-191 Leslie RS5TRF five-chime horn detail part. The value of the brass DW horn casting is $4.25. This is the horn the SLSF used on all three of the locomotives above - it was a Frisco favorite. Use it on one of the models, and you will then have the reference if you want to obtain one or two more. Ken
FYI, the Athearn powered Frisco GP38-2, SLSF 671, and the Athearn dummy SD40-2, SLSF 954, have both been sold tonight via HOYARDSALE. The Athearn GP50 is still available. I figured that would go quickly because it is so unique, but maybe not. Anyone interested? If I don't sell it, I guess I'll detail it and finish it off. Ken
