    For your consideration.

    In 1976, the Kansas City Railroad Museum loaned to NBC TV, Frisco business car SLSF 3 and Kansas City Southern (KCS) observation car "Hospitality".

    They used them as their headquarters during the Republican National Convention at Kemper Arena in Kansas City, MO.

    Herewith are photograph pdf's of those cars taken by my friend, Tony Fey, 36 years ago.

    The "drumhead" on the back of Frisco business car SLSF 3 was the then current NBC logo on plexiglass in their colors.

    Bill Keene and I built this in my garage, and gave it to them when the convention was over.

    Enjoy! :)

    Neat photographs!

    Kansas City Southern (KCS" "Hospitality" is foxy!

    Frisco car too.

    The NBC logo does not add much though.
