FYI--N Scale Supply has a used copy of Arthur Dubin's More Classic Trains (Published by Kalmbach) and at a reasonable price. This is the first book with an appreciable amount of Frisco passenger train information. As I recall there are about 20 pages of Frisco and Katy passenger train info and photos from 19th century to the streamlined Texas Special and Meteor era.

It also has a section which may have been published originally in TRAINS called "A Twist on Tuscan Red; Q: Were all Pennsy Pullmans Tuscan Red? A: No; Q: Were all Tuscan-Red Pullmans Pennsy? A: No" While there are not any Frisco cars in this section, it does have images of Cascade Ravine and Cascade Range. Both 10-5 sleepers were assigned to the Meteor and Texas Special, respectively. The cars were shadowed-striped in the Meteor/Texas Special livery. The book is a must for the Frisco fan and for passenger fans in general.
Agree with Tom and Karl on the value of having a copy of Arthur Dubin's "More Classic Trains"! And, if you are going to get that, also look for a copy of his first book, "Some Classic Trains", also published by Kalmbach. They are both great reference books to the "classic" era of passenger trains in the US, with a bit of Canada, Mexico and Cuba as well. All the big name trains are covered. "Some Classic Trains" also has a chapter about railroad travel to the 1904 St Louis Worlds Fair, which was a real big deal. Ken
