Hello Frisco Folks, Here are some photographs of Frisco 2-10-0 Decapod Engines SLSF 1614, 1616, 1625, 1626 and 1632 Enjoy, Rich Ship it on the Frisco!
Does anyone know which of Frisco's Decapods wound up in the hands of Eagle-Picher (E-P)? I have photographs of 2-10-0 SLSF 1625 lettered for E-P, but am wondering how many others were similarly sold. Thanks! Greg Stout
Greg, Per Joe's Frisco Power, page 64, the following locomotives were sold to Eagle-Picher Mining Company in 1951. 2-10-0 SLSF 1615, 1621, 1625, 1630 and 1632. That saved them from the torch, all five I think, are still around on display. 2-10-0 SLSF 1621 is here at the National Museum of Transportation in Kirkwood, MO. 2-10-0 SLSF 1630 is still under steam most of the time at the Illinois Railroad Museum. However, I think I recall reading somewhere that it is out of service under repair right now. Ken
Actually 2-10-0 SLSF 1630 has been undergoing a overhaul for the last few years and she is just about done. The only time I every saw her was in 1984. She was undergoing some sort of repair work. I would like to get back to the IRM as it has been a very long time since I was there. Steve
