    dricketts wondered: "Did the Frisco ever use the "non-russian" type pictured here on the Highline or the entire system?" alongside a screenshot of what look like bdaneal's two Baldwin 2-10-0 types.
    (see http://www.frisco.org/vb/showthread...sian-Decapod-2-10-0&highlight=Baldwin+Russian)

    According to Frisco Power, there were no other 2-10-0 type in regular use on the system.

    That would not stop a re-skin to get a "close" interim model, but there are a couple difficulties for the "virtual rivet-counter." I can think of three right away: driver size, dome placement and the pipes leading from the smoke box down to the cylinders seem to be a bit longer on the "Russian" than on the stock Baldwins.

    We just need to keep watching (or get busy in Blender).

    Thanks George. I'll look at reskinning what bdaneal has available. It doesn't need to be perfect but I was curious.

    I've also noticed my previous reskin of his 2-8-2 I chose the wrong model for the Frisco. I should have chose the model with the centered headlight. Not the high headlight.
