Transfer Caboose Decacals:

With the help from Richard Napper, I now have a new decal for the Frisco transfer caboose. This set will letter 2 cabooses. One with black lettering and one with white lettering.

726 SL-SF transfer caboose. You can view the gif file on my web site or the group Frisco @ yahoo groups.

Prefix numbers for N scale 60-. HO scale 87-. S scale 64-.
O scale 48-. N & HO scale retail price $3.25. S & O scale retail price $6.50. These should be in your favorite hobby shop within the next month or so.

If ordering direct, please include $1.75 for p&h. Up to date catalog N, HO, S & O scale, $6.00, plus $2.00 for p&h. You buy this catalog once, then every 3 months or so, send me a LSSAE for updates. Fits in a 3 ring binder.

How about some photos of these transfer cabooses, or at lease a table of which ones had which color lettering and where they were assigned. Thanks Dwain.

Dwain, back up and go to Prototype/Cabooses/General for a list, unfortunately all the photos I have of the transfer cabooses have been copyrighted so I can't post them. Roger

Folks -
Looking over my Athearn 465-469-series 40'(40'6" I.L.) express cars (built 1942 by Pullman) that were originally numbered with 6 digits (nonconsecutive). Anyone have any recommendations for replacement number decals?

Incidentally, the 1942 drawings list A.S.F. ride control trucks. Can anyone confirm if the express trucks were still used during the war?

See http://www.frisco.org/vb/attachment....8&d=1128908890 for drawings.

Best Regards,

[Karl]

Chris,
I read the car diagram differently. I believe that these cars were delivered with the Allied-Full Cushion trucks, just as the Athearn model has.. The diagram notes indicate that the trucks were changed during 1949. It is my believe that at this time the AFC trucks were replaced with the ASF Ride Control Trucks. So during the war years these cars rode on the Allied-Full Cushion trucks. These trucks were prone to derailments, and were outlawed for interchange circa 1955-1956.

As for decals, look around for some Champ PH-50’s. Even though Champ has quit producing decals, many are still in stock.

Or make your own. There are several internet sites that have Railroad fonts for purchase. Print the sets on the inkjet decal paper as sold by http://www.railwayshop.com/evan.shtml .

Sorry to bring up an old thread, however, I am looking for the gold trim that goes around the sides of the tender and the engine cab below the windows. I need them for a passenger engine.

Thanks!

From the Search engine on Doric Stripes:

Champ Decals set EH-263, Frisco Passenger Steam locomotive (bronze gold) plus Champ set S-39, Doric Bronze Gold Stripes, are quite good

Also Oddballs Set #312
