Hey all you River Division guys, I need to get 5 or 6 N scale frieght cars appropriate for a short peddler frieght along the Hoxie Branch in the mid fifties. I'm shootin' for short train of older heavily weathered equipment and a caboose. Any suggestions? I found a 50' plug door Frisco boxcar at Hobby Lobby but the build date was 11-73. Figures. I need earlier than 1959. Thanks in advance. Jim
You would be looking for 40' boxes, 10,000 gal tank cars (Phillips, Mobil, Sinclair), 52'6" drop end gondolas, 2 bay covered hoppers, 42' -60' flats.
Jim, I have some cars that are way too early for my 1980 date. A variety including several Frisco. I'm trying to accomplish a swap with Louis for cars he has that are too modern. Contact me offlist at steve503@cox.net and I can get you a list. I have some of the Mid-Continent tankers that the Region produced, etc.
Hi! I'm looking for two fairly accurate pre-1960 n scale Frisco cabooses. From what I've seen available, I may have to kitbash them myself. If anyone here has any suggestions or has something like this they are willing to sell, please let me know! Thanks! -pete
My impression is that notheing out there is very accurate for that period (for N at least.) Joe Lovett is the most on-to-of-it about what's been produced when.
Look at this thread and check out the Excel spread sheet that Joe Lovett has created - I think has recorded everything made in N that is Frisco: http://www.frisco.org/vb/showthread.php?t=3288
