As all of the previous items I have listed as being available have been sold, or in the case of two, swapped, let's start a new thread to help me keep things straight. Thank you to all who had an interest in my "stuff" - I'm happy they will have new Frisco homes. Everything that has been paid has been shipped with the exception of three buyers - I'm holding items for one, payment is on the way for one, and I'm working on a trade for one. Let's start off with some Frisco art for your train room - in particular if you like Alco FA1's/FB1's as much as I do. o A nice rendition of SLSF 5217 along with a FB1 and FA1 during a crew change in 1949. On card stock, size is 8.25" x 12". In excellent condition. See the pic. I'll send it in an envelope via USPS First Class between sheets of cardboard. Price - $14, I'll pay the shipping. Payment via personal check, or PayPal "friends & Family" so there is no fee. (5217 print has been sold) o Keeping the Alco FA1/FB1 theme, here's another that is somewhat rare. A dramatic nose on rendition of SLSF 5219 with a FB1 and FA1 as mates, roaring along on the Frisco on what looks like a stormy day in the Ozarks. This item is nicely matted, overall size is 11.75" x 14.5"; subject size is 6.25" x 9". It is sealed in a plastic wrap, and is in excellent condition. I think I'll want to send this via Priority Mail. Price is $16, plus half the shipping ($3.50), $19.50 total. As before, personal check payment, or via PayPal "friends & family". (5219 print has been sold) More to follow shortly. Ken
More ..... (Item has been sold) An Intermountain USRA drop bottom composite outside braced gondola, class GB, SLSF 50276. Beautiful model - black with white lettering and logo. Built 1924, lasted well into the diesel era. No load, but metal wheels, brake hoses, Kadee compatible couplers, wire grabs, very nice Andrews trucks. Price $16 plus $7 shipping via Priority Mail. Payment via check or PayPal, "friends & family". See pic. Ken
Atlas reefer, MRS 5585, built for Manufacturers Railroad for Ralston Purina service, Checkerboard Square, St Louis. Very nicely decorated, see pic, brown roof and ends. Standard stuff as seen on nice models - metal wheels, real grabs, brake hoses, Kadee compatible couplers. Atlas item 20-002-013. Price $16 plus $7 shipping. Same payment methods as the above listings. Ken
(Item has been sold) Atlas 6-bay cylindrical covered hopper, original ACF "Center Flow" predecessor. The Frisco had, I think, ten of these. This is SLSF 81015, built 1962, so it looks good behind either b/y or o/w power. Car had an aluminum body, hence the silver color. Black lettering, black & white "Ship it". Car looked really nice when new and clean, kind of crummy when dirty. One of the four side small straps has come loose, is included, on the A-end. Easy fix, I'd do it but I don't have any cement. Car has brake hoses, but Atlas trucks have been replaced by Kadee 100-ton roller bearing trucks as they look a lot better. Atlas item 1960-1. Price $17 plus $7 shipping via Priority Mail. Same payment terms as above. Ken
Atlas item 20-001-422, a 1932 ARA box car, done as Bangor and Aroostook (BAR) 5523 with the neat red, white and blue "State of Maine Products" decor. Built 1938. Obtained this decor in the 1950's. As a kid, I wanted one of these badly for my Lionel set, but Santa never delivered!, so I got one later in HO scale. I have seen this car in St Louis several times, and believe I saw one go by Rolla while in college. I liked the car as it adds some spice to the usual gang of box car red freight cars of the 1950's-60's. They still exist - I saw several on a siding when we visited Maine in 2006. Price $15 plus $7 shipping. See pic. K
More art, this is a good one (mint) and hard to find. Union Tank Car used to do a series of Howard Fogg (and others) art works on U S Railroad locomotive renderings. This one is hard to find - a Howard Fogg reproduction of his work of SLSF4304, one of those exceptional Frisco 4300 4-8-2 Mountains. See the pic. Note the caption - "Behold the Polish and Perfection of the Frisco". The pic is small, 5" x 7". It has a matt cover and is ready for framing. Mint condition. The 4300 was one of the very best Frisco steam locomotive classes. Price for this gem is $12.00. I'll provide USPS first class shipping to the lucky buyer. As usual, payment via check or PayPal "friends & family" option. Thanks. K
Here is another of those impressive mill gondolas, 65 ft long. This is Rock Island 890, built from an E & B Valley kit. Slightly weathered, RI maroon, no load, brake hoses, Kadee compatible couplers, metal wheels in Bettendorf friction bearing trucks. Nice car. Price - $11.00, plus $7 shipping. Payment via check or PayPal "friends & family". (SOLD) Thanks. Ken
Here is an Atlas Frisco Pullman Standard PS-2 covered hopper model, class LO. The Frisco really liked this PS car, and bought several series of them. This car was from the very first series, as evidenced by the thin lettering used on the FRISCO name on the side. All subsequent series used a much bolder Frisco lettering font. That makes this car unique, and one you should have in your SLSF roster. This is SLSF 84032, built in December, 1959. Seen often behind both b/y and o/w diesel power. Excellent model of the very successful PS-2 car. Price $15, plus $7 shipping via Priority Mail. Payment as described above. K
More - you folks seem to prefer locomotives and cabs over rolling stock. Here's a good one; I really like this model. Atlas, item 9929, Frisco MP15 locomotive, done in very nice o/w as SLSF 364. Nice Blomberg trucks, Kadee compatible couplers, brake hoses, several additional detail parts. Excellent lettering, detail accents. New in box, essentially mint except for it being on display on a shelf for a while. Atlas instruction sheet and detail parts all included. This locomotive replaced the SW1500 in EMD's order book. It was good out on the road because of the trucks, but it had to be a short run as it had no toilet. Such problems! Price $69.00 plus the usual $9.00 for a locomotive via Priority Mail because of the weight. Pay via personal check or via PayPal "friends & family" option so there is no fee. (SOLD) Thanks. Ken
LaserKit wood Frisco 3-window caboose kit. A nice kit, a fun, satisfying challenge to build. I bought two, built one, made a few mistakes I was not happy with, and sold it. My plan was to build this one using the earlier experience. Never did it. What I did was to collect comments on the building project from others, which are included and provide real good advice. You have great flexibility with this kit - includes parts for both the steel or the wood cupola, laser cut precision detail parts, based on the Athearn cab frame with provision made for length modification. The kit box has been opened, but all parts are there. Price new was $44.95 as I recall. Yours for a bargain price of $25, plus $6.80 shipping via USPS Priority Mail. It will fit into a small flat rate box. Payment as described above for the MP15. Thanks. (Price reduction 11/13) Ken
Here is Atlas #20001221, a USRA steel rebuild box car, done in the famous Frisco FFF scheme, tan body color, orange and brown lettering, brown doors, brown roofs and ends. This was, I think, intended to be a LCL car, but they eventually wound up in regular service until ultimately being repainted. Nice car - metal wheels, Andrews trucks, handrails and grabs, brake hoses, the usual. Price $16 plus shipping. Payment as above. These models can certainly be combined to save on shipping costs. Thanks. More to follow this week. (This item is sold) Ken
