    Just a Quick question . Does anyone know, how many, and what type of locos had the triple F logo on the tenders?
    Thanks,
    Dan

    Thanks,Tom. Well,shoot! Since a 4-8-4 is not available in large scale, it would not be totally correct for another type . I saw an "O" scale set at the bay , and I figured I could blow it up and copy it !
    Ah, well !

    I wish model manufacturers would make a "generic" 4-8-4 that would be close enough (And that could be re-detailed) to the "look" of engines of several different railroads. Perhaps as if there might have been a "USRA" 4-8-4 locomotive.

    I have several large scale Pacifics. I may just "imagineer " a Pacific with the logo, just because!!

    I see what Karl means. Not prototypical, alas, and too overstated. Something a little more balanced would have looked very good IMHO.

    Actually, I sort of like it. I would call that engine the "Frisco all-American Georgian Locomotive."

    Something for everybody here, especially if you only have budget for one engine.

    In an attempt to look for the redeeming qualities of that model, I do think that the oil bunker is nicely done. :)

    I'd never thought of it, but you're right on. The Frisco Faster Freight would have been a nice touch on the rebuilt Mountains.

    Best Regards,
