Hi All: I have the ring-binder book "Timetables for the Frisco Lines and NW Arkansas" by Robert C. Oswald and it is a wealth of information. Unfortunately, it does not have any old time table pages printed that show speed limits/restrictions for the Fort Smith Sub. Do any of you have an Employees Time Table for the Ft. Smith Sub circa 1964? If so, what were the maximum speeds for 730/731 and 709/710 trains? Thanks. Andre Ming
Hello Andre I have a set of yard profiles for every town on the ft. smith sub. If these would be of any help in your ft. smith sub V scale creation I would ne happy to share them with you. I rescued them from the trash barrel back in 86 when I was still working for the A&M out of springdale, I'm eagar to run the line again! Craig
Craig: By "yard profiles"... do mean track charts or an actual profile (elevations) of the FS Sub? I have an elevation profile of the entire line, which I'm sure will prove to be helpful. I also have a set of track charts that cover the FS Sub from Wightman to just south of Fort Smith. They appear to be from about the mid-60's, which is nigh perfect for my target era. HOWEVER, I do not have a Frisco track chart for the town of Monett or the Whirlpool complex from the same era. What'cha got? EDIT: Make that from SF Jct in south Ft. Smith all the way to the Whirlpool complex. Andre
Coonskin, what date would you put on the FS charts that I posted a few months ago? Whirlpool is on them, which seems to make them newer than other elements like the team tracks in Zone 100 and 200. I'm interested in any information on the businesses between SF junction and Whirlpool, as I have started assembling benchwork for that area. I'll try to post a few photos as I make progress.
Hi Steve: The thread you reference must have slipped past me. Do you have an easy link you can post here to that thread? I will have a look at them. Andre Ming
