I recently purchased an Athearn Blue Box heavyweight baggage car and would like to paint and decal it for the Frisco. I found passenger car diagrams on this site and numbers 364-369 appear to be similar to the Athearn model. Does anyone have a picture of any of these cars that they are able to post? Did any of these cars make thier way into Maintenance-of-Way service? If so, were they painted in silver-gray paint? Rich
Hi, Rich, A quick reference is this link at the Springfield Library. While not your specific cars, it may be close. Dan http://thelibrary.springfield.missouri.org/lochist/frisco/friscoline/passbag.cfm Also found this. http://digitalcollections.missouristate.edu/cdm4/browse.php?CISOROOT=/FriscoTravel&CISOSTART=1,1 Enjoy!!
Thanks Dan, those cars are close but I think 364-366 are closer to the Athearn model. As far as the other link, from my childhood I can remember my father tapping the ashes from his stoggies in item #4. Rich
Rich, I've not had any luck locating photos of any of this series yet. Surely someone will come up with one of the series. The next step will be to try to find some in MoW numbers (if any made it, for that matter). Best Regards,
