    Prior to stumbling across this photograph, the only picture I had seen was in Frisco Power as a Mallet is being readied.

    From The Frisco Man magazine circa 1917 in the Springfield-Greene County Library "Remembering the Frisco" collection.

    Chris,

    Evidently all the bigger Frisco turntables were through girder.

    This adds to the modeling mystique.
