Frisco Fast Freight Art Print

I didn't see the print on the website.

 

I don't see it either, maybe mike could scan it on here for us? Unless that would cause copyright trouble...........

 

I had the pleasure of dinner with the Winfields last night, at least at the same table. I believe they have a website where prints can be ordered, which would mean images without issues. He also has the prints with the Meteor engines available. Some beautiful work.
The painting was commissioned by a gentleman in Oklahoma City, IIRC. Would he happen to be a website member? If so, thanks for helping get another Frisco image into circulation.
If you have a really favorite Frisco image, you might want to think getting rights and commissioning a Winfield. He is recognized enough that it should hold its value. GP15's on the Frog Bayou bridge-hmmm--something to put on the wall and contemplate while wrapped up in a Mandarin robe on a chilly night.

 

Hey Steve

Out of curiosity what does a commissioned painting cost these days? More than a brass engine??

The Winfield's website is what Frisco Mike posted at the beginning of this thread. http://www.winfieldart.com.

Just looking and didn't see the one of the Meteor engines. Must be out of stock except for a couple they carry to shows.
About pricing, I thnk the complexity and maybe size would be factors. Do you have a good picture or do you want a montage like some of the images? Locos would take a lot more time than trees. They are really nice folks and would be happy to answer any questions.

 

Tom Stolte at Oddballs decals has the FFF decal and also The Meteor Decals, also FTC and others, I klnow because a made the art work for him.

I was at a show today and snagged one of these myself. It is a beautiful print.

I had forgotten about seeing it mentioned here until I got home.

Sd24s?

They sure look like sd45s in my print.

Paul

 

That would be a miss-print on the website then. On the print itself, it says SD-45 "Cadillacs".

Indeed, they are SD45s and I would love to be able to see a trio of them delivering a coal train entering the old Santa Fe East Dallas Yard full throttle upgrade from the Trinity River Bottoms from Irving under a big fat Texas full moon working again! I had to swap cabooses, removing the Frisco and tacking on a KCS since the train was destined for the Texas & Northern´s interchange in East Texas for Lone Star Steel.

Santa Fe´s East Dallas Yard was a joint agency for the Frisco and KCS. The ATSF´s Paris Local would also leave town with Frisco interchange traffic for Paris as well.

All gone now. DART has replaced ATSF´s yard and only memories remain. Dallas, like so many cities around the US and Canada, and probably Mexico too, just do not provide the excitement for me to railfan anymore. I understand the younger generation doesn´t fully comprehend what us oldtimers miss but I see more clearly now how the first generation of railfans must have felt when diesels started to invade their domain and replace steam.

BN contra Frisco is another story altogether and may not deserve to be posted at Frisco.org. It is still a bittersweet story that the younger generation accepts even if they don´t quite understand the rest of us who grew up with the Frisco we all still love and show it by supporting this site.

Where is "Frisco Flair" displayed on the website?

Thanks, Tom

 

I have the print. I thought you meant it was displayed here someplace (On the website).
