Hi everyone The last train meet I was at I picked up a four pack of proto 2000 mill gon decorated for the frisco. They are painted black and are in the 61000 series. The questin that I have is are these cars accurate and does anyone have any prototype pics that they would post, there are a few choices in the end doors and I would like to know which style the frisco used. Thank you! Craig
Craig, The Proto car is reasonably accurate, black was the first paint scheme, however the Frisco cars were built by Pullman Standard and the drop ends were a PS design which is not included in the kit. Nick
Bob - Adding to what Nick and Richard have already posted, yes, the P2K Frisco gons are excellent models. Yes, the PS drop ends differ from the ones in the kit - the ribs are "rounder" in the kit, but otherwise, very close to the Frisco cars. Do you have the car diagram? I could post them for the full series if not. Barber S-2 trucks. I also recall an article on these cars in the FMIG newsletters, in the "CMS" series that Charlie Dischinger did as I recall. Ken
