Hello, I've lived in the Ozark/Springfield area my entire life and found this site while looking for info on the old Chadwick/Ozark line. I'll have some questions about that when I locate the correct forum, I'm sure this isn't the proper place. My dad, myself, and my son all love trains and model railroading (especially the local lines). I look forward to browsing this site and learning more about the Frisco!
Brandon - Welcome to frisco.org! This is a well run site, with a great membership, and we love to share information and experiences about the Frisco. Enjoy! If you have specific questions, just ask them in a posting. We'll see what happens - the membership can't answer everything, of course, but you will be surprised about how much information does surface! Ken
Welcome aboard Brandon. We are glad to have you. I was privileged to peruse the big antique stores in Ozark a couple of weeks ago. Someone there is raiding all of the Frisco goodies (although I came away with two brass Frisco keys). Charlie
Welcome aboard! Love that area. My grandparents lived in Winona for seven years. Lots of beautiful scenery out your way and it would make for a nice layout. I also love old regional branch lines and such.

Brandon, sometimes you don't even have to ask a question; just mention what you're interested in and someone like Karl (who seldom misses an opportunity to please) will provide. You'll find that there is a big group of us very passionate about our beloved road. Be sure to check out Karl's lead in his welcome post.
Howdy Brandon, Welcome to Frisco.org. The breadth of knowledge and experience recorded here will keep you entertained for hours. Most of all, have fun! Best regards, Mike C
