    Folks -
    As I trudge along with indexing the FMIG newsletters, I'm running into a few cabooses where either my eyesight or my available technology won't allow me to make out the numbers of some.

    Where prototype photos are included in the newsletters, I'd really like to include those in the index so that modelers and historians alike can easily find specific numbers.

    Ultimately, I'm hoping some of you may be able to clarify: perhaps those who may still have original newsletter copies in their possession and better make out the numbers.

    My wish list:

    NEWSLETTER #37
    Page 17:
    • O/B Cabooses with Baggage Doors: Numbers?
    • Transfer Cabooses (on flatcars): Numbers?*
    *The one at the very bottom shows the Kansas City 19th Street engine house in the background, so perhaps this will help someone identify this one.

    Page 19:
    • Left Column, Middle Photo: 1107?

    Thanks, in advance, for any clarification that Frisco Nation can provide!

    Best Regards,

    Chris -

    I'm confused, I think you must be talking about issue #36? (not #37)

    Page 15 (not p17) - top upper left column, o/b side door cab is SLSF 156. o/b side door cab below it in left column is SLSF 157. In right column, the second pic down is transfer cab SLSF 1300. The numbers on the two transfer cabs below it are not readable.

    Page 18 (not p19) - yes, 3-window cab SLSF 1107.

    Indeed, Herr Wulfert. I, too, was confused! Correct you are; it is in issue #36.

    My apologies for confusion; thanks for picking up on this! And, thanks for the input on the cabooses!

    Best Regards,
