    I didn't fully realize how much work went into these NLs back in the type and Xerox stage. Think of what could be done now with Publisher, word processing and Photoshop.

    My hat is off to you Doug for all your efforts.

    Gosh Doug--I can't tell you how much I appreciated the newsletter back then and even more so now! There's an absolute goldmine of information in the Q & A section of NL #8! Almost too much to comprehend at one sitting! I have most of the other newsletters posted, but I must have missed or misplaced that one.

    Thanks (again) for the FMIG!

    Seeing Jan Jester's Newburg-based layout in FMIG NL-8 brings back a lot of good memories of Jan's excellent work, and of Jan himself.

    Doug,

    I was not able to download #10 for some technical reason. Could you repost? So far the 2-3 others I have downloaded work great.

    Good to see FMIG NL 11 again! I recall following Keith's U30b article very closely to start and complete my first "post FMIG membership" Frisco modelling project - SLSF 835, based on the Athearn U30b model. It turned out great - with a mild amount of weathering added it won "Best Diesel" at the 1981 Ozarks Model Railroad meet in Springfield. It's still here - sitting on the shelf along with the First Place award plaque.

    I never could have come close to winning a contest like that without FMIG. Thanks again Doug, and Keith!

    Doug- thanks for scanning & posting these old newsletters! I was a late arrival to the FMIG, having joined it in the early 1980s, but had the privilege of meeting Richard Napper, Charlie D., the late Jan Jester, and Mike Condren, among others, in person and also thru the newsletters. Since there weren't too many articles on the Frisco back then, this was a most necessary medium for us brothers of the coonskin.

    Doug, thanks for scanning these. Even though we still have all the originals in the archives it brings back some great memories. I still have my trophy from the FMIG convention model contest in St. Louis on display! That was a long time ago. I can remember reading and reading them and absorbing it all.Brian Webb's article on a HI hood u25 was the motivater for me to build several. Kinda' funny looking back. We even still have the original roster you printed that had each members locomotives on it. If anyone ever starts an FMIG museum we can help. Luckily my dad and I never dump anything that has the word FRISCO on it. Thanks for the memories even if I was a kid at the time. Steve Hurt
