FRISCOMOUSEPADS Store Now Online! FRISCO.ORG Mousepads

[SAFN SAAP]

Hello All,

I have received permission from the Powers to produce a mouse pad like my S.A.F&N/S.A.&A.P. pad for Frisco.org. Great news after a few have approached me to make a custom pad for the organization. I am proud to do it.

Here is what the base pad will look like:

I'm working on a simple link for you to view all the pads available and buy from there. More to come.

Manny, this looks like a nice design. Hopefully your poll will identify a clear cut choice for the winning middle image, whether it is steam, diesel, or other.

[SAFN SAAP]

Yes,

I need designs for the middle. Please submit your pictures.

Categories:

1. Best STEAM
2. Best DIESEL
3. Best Non-motive power

Once all submissions are given, there will be another thread created to vote on the categories. The winners will be selected from there.

The pads will be produced. You will pay the price of the pad and shipping only.

POST THEM PICS!!!!

To me, the two most obvious steam locomotives to pick from would be 1522 and 4500.

For diesels, any of the E units with the gold/cream pinstripes or a black/yellow F3.

The third possibility would be most likely a caboose.

[Iantha_Branch]

Steam: Firefly because it was so unique to the frisco (yes others had streamlined steam, but none to my knowledge looked like the firefly)
Diesel: E8 in factory delivery scheme. Or a diesel unique to the Frisco like the XR unit.
Non motive: Caboose, one that fits the frisco well. Like one of the home built 1400 or 1700 seires cabooses in either the plain bright red (not the brown) or the O&W diesel scheme.
Suggested 4th option a plain either red or black coonskin.

Here is a photo I think would work good for the firefly. Understand I AM NOT the owner of this photo. It is on Mike Condern's site so you would have to ask his permission.

Hello All,

I have received permission from the Powers to produce a mouse pad like my S.A.F&N/S.A.&A.P. pad for Frisco.org. Great news after a few have approached me to make a custom pad for the organization. I am proud to do it.

Here is what the base pad will look like:

I plan on designing three styles for Frisco.org. One will be a STEAM pad. One will be a DIESEL pad. The third will be a non-motive power pad.

This thread is for suggestion for the middle area. Please kindly submit your ideas. This will go on for 15 days.

On May 15th, all submissions will be put into a voting thread and will be vote upon by the members.

Once the votes are tallied, final designs go to the Powers for final approval. Once approved, they will be produced and details on how you get one will be announced.

The cost of the mouse pads will be around $15.00 shipped. Far less than mouse pads cost in stores now a days.

Please help out and show your Frisco.Org pride.

Thanks,

Manny

Keep up the good work guys. Attach photos if you can. That really helps. C'mon folks. Keep posting up ideas.

[renapper]

Here are my suggestions.

[SAFN SAAP]

Excellent! Thanks Richard! If anyone has more, please post up. B/W and color are both fine! The more pictures, the better the choice for y'all to select BEST STEAM, DIESEL, AND NON-MOTIVE POWER. There will be three pads designed, and you'll be able to choose your own pad. Keep up the great work!

Also, if there are any modelers who have represented the Frisco well, and wish to submit their work, please do! If you want a personalized pad made up, I am willing to do them for you.

This is a lot of fun, and a way I can help my Frisco community.

Voting will take place in separate threads. I appreciate everyone's support. I will work to keep this at the top of the home page for the next 14 days. I know that there are plenty of favorite shots of our beloved Frisco. Please continue to bring them forward. I, and I am sure many of you, want each of these to be special! Maybe I'll do a new pad each year with a different shot. Kind of like a keep sake. This is way too fun. Keep up the work guys. C'mon. Post up them pics!

[SAFN SAAP]

More pics guys! More pics. More you post the better the mouse pads will be! Please post up.

Thanks,

Manny

My pick for the steam choice:




For diesel, I like the "Racehorse" E8s. For "Other", why not one of the Frisco coonskin variations?

[SAFN SAAP]

I was thinking of either one of all the skins of the Frisco, or a "Ship it on the Frisco!" in the middle.

[SAFN SAAP]

C'mon y'all. The more photos we have, the better your choices will be. Please don't be shy. Post 'em up. We want 2012's mouse pad to be the inaugural best!!!

Manny

[SAFN SAAP]

Next week is the cutoff. Please submit your pictures. Diesel guys, please offer up. Same with steam. Anymore ideas for non-motive power?

[renapper]

Bob, I really like your photo of the 4500 except for one thing, what is that ugly box around the bell? ruines the whole picture!

[friscobob]

You're right- it's to protect the bell from visits by the Midnite Requisition Company. Unless it could be Photoshopped out of the picture, I'm not sure what you can do. I am nervous about the openness of the locomotive to the public, and fear a visit from some ambitious "artist" or gangsta thug.

Actually, I also have shots of the 4500 after it was placed in its new home- sets of panel track next to it, and a black plastis trash bag taped over the headlight. Yecchh! Fortunately, that's all gone now.

The side-door caboose at the end, painted & lettered Frisco, is OK, except for missing doors.
