    Let's start another thread, and post some new items from the box I brought up from our storage locker. First, a Genesis Frisco locomotive, then four Kadee box cars, two Frisco, and two from roads that certainly would have been seen on Frisco rails. As before, payment for all purchases can be sent by personal check, by USPS money order, or (preferred) by PayPal using the"friends & family" option to avoid the service charge.
    I'll list each item individually which helps me keep track of everything.
    Thanks for your interest!

    First, an Athearn Genesis GP38-2, SLSF 695. This is a beautiful model, new in the box, mint. Has all the usual Genesis features and performance, plus is fitted out with Frisco specific detail items. This locomotive listed for $169.98, but I got it at the Nebraska dealer (can't remember the shop's name!) for $136. These are still available on eBay, recent listings were also $136. Price to frisco.org folks is only $122, plus the usual $13.45 for Priority Mail shipment in a medium flat rate box. Here's your chance if you missed out on the initial offering of this Frisco locomotive, which was a workhorse for the SLSF, numbering 116 units. Used everywhere on the SLSF, very useful for almost any task, reliable, 2000 HP.
    Thanks. See the pics of the unit in the box. (SOLD)

    Here come the Kadee's.
    First is Kadee #5210, a Cotton Belt (St. Louis Southwestern) 40-ft PS-1 box car, box car red color all over with black ends. This one has an 8-ft six panel Superior door (to give a different look from all the Youngstown doors that Pullman Standard used), built in Sept, 1955. This is SSW 34650. See the pic. Note the great looking Cotton Belt "Blue Streak Fast Freight" logo.
    Almost all of the Kadee cars I have, and will be offering here, are out of stock at Kadee. This one went out of stock on November 29, 1999. List price was $29.95. Price to frisco.org is $22 (less than the $24-$28 normal eBay offering price for 40-ft PS1's). Shipping cost is $7 in a Priority Mail box - items can be combined to save on shipping costs. Car comes in its original box, as far as I can recall, this one is unopened. Thanks. (SOLD)

    Here is a nice one - Accurail #4709, a Frisco 40-ft wood stock car. It has the usual Accurail quality graphics, plus the nice Accurail truck, Kadee wheels, Kadee couplers, and Cal-Scale brake line hoses. Not an exact match for the Frisco's various wood stock cars, but it looks like them and looks very good on the layout. This is SLSF 47789. Nice car. See pic
    Price to frisco.org is $13 plus $7 shipping via USPS Priority Mail. (SOLD)
    Thanks.

    Remember, all the unsold items from Naples updates #'s 2,3 and 4 are still available, and are eligible for a counter-bid to the price I posted. Some good value here, in particular at a lower bid price. Take a look.
    I'm very much surprised that the Atlas MP15, SLSF 364, o/w decor, is still available, and also the Athearn Genesis F7A PRR 9678 is still unspoken for. These are very nice models, available at a bid price. Take a look.

    OK Roger, it's yours. Thanks. Nice model. And, I'll include the IRC d/b panel for the F7B.

    Just putting the $$ in the general fund. We are doing some minor remodeling here in the new condo. Dollars don't last long here in Naples!

    OK Matt - Since the Accurail Frisco stocker will go in with the Genesis Frisco F3, you need to pay shipping only on the Genny - $13.45 for the Priority Mail medium flat rate box for it. The stock car will ride along at no added charge, so pay only $13 for it.

    Roger -
    You get the Athearn Genesis Frisco GP38-2, plus the Atlas Frisco MP15, plus the IRC non-d/b hatch for your F7B, all for the grand shipping cost of $13.45 in a Priority Mail medium flat rate box. The 38-2 cost was $122, and the MP15 cost was $69.

    Here's another probable unwanted editorial - you folks need to recognize that every Frisco train had a great many "foreign" railroad cars in it. Many of these were from other roads that connected with the Frisco such as SSW, ATSF, RI, PRR, plus shipper owned tank cars, etc, etc. You guys are buying up the Frisco cars, but are ignoring the foreign road cars even though they are equally excellent models. I suggest that is a mistake.
