Hello Frisco Folks Here are a couple of photos of Frisco 4-4-0 American #122, 140, 151, & 182 Enjoy, Rich Ship it on the Frisco!
Wow! I just stumbled on these photos. No. 151 was originally owned by the St. Louis, Salem, and Little Rock RR before it was absorbed into the Frisco and became the Salem Branch around the turn of the century. Just a little info on the prototype: Built in 1881 by Rogers for the St. Louis, Salem, and Little Rock. Originally equipped with an oil burning headlight, but later converted to electric. Retired in 1915. I repainted and decaled an IHC Illinois Central 4-4-0 for this very locomotive, although there is a lot more detailing that I need to do to give the prototype the respect that it deserves. See my Salem Branch album for the model, and the Salem Branch thread for a photo of this locomotive and a fellow American at the Salem depot in 1890. Pat Moreland, Union Mo.
