    I just looked at this caboose on eBay and it is up to over $41. Unbelievable. I wonder what a accurately modeled Frisco Transfer caboose would bring.

    I thought about bidding on this one but would rather have one of Nick's kits if he has any available.|-|:)|-|:)|-|

    Well, I'd give 'em credit for ingenuity. I recall about 25 years or so ago, at a train show in Dallas.......somebody was selling kits for the long porch MoPac bay window cabeese, for about fifteen bucks each. They had set up a jig to cut down their standard bay-window bodies to make the short body / long porch version.

    While inaccurate models may annoy, I am glad to see somebody trying something in the way of modeling other than buying RTR and throwing it on the tracks. :eek:

    Did anyone see the Lionel HO GP9 in Frisco R/W that went for nearly $200 a few weeks ago?

    Between that, and the Mantua F7, I wonder if there's anymore commercially sold Frisco stuff floating around out there that we don't know about.

    Has anyone ever compiled a list of commercially produced Frisco locomotives? Protypically accurate or not.....:cool:

    At a train show in Rickreall, OR (a small town west of Salem, OR), I saw a Lionel train set with the locomotive, freight cars & caboose painted in red & white. Not sure what the price was, and I was kinda tempted to buy it, if only for the novelty (and what the mere sight of it would do to the dead-serious nitpickers). Alas, I did not, having reached my spending limit (and scored some serious HO swag in the bargain).
