Sep 6, 2014 · The Frisco did that by retaining the frame and steel Howe truss side structure, but applied steel side panels to replace the wood. In this later life, many of the cars were renumbered. There is a very good article about these cars in RPCyc Volume 1, authored by Joe Pennington, which I believe is still available.

Jul 26, 2010 · I have a steam roster for the Frisco done by a friend Gene Connelly. I have no real knowledge of the Frisco steam, other than some dgm books etc and was wondering if someone would be willing to proof it and make any corrections/additions necessary. It also lacks things like cyl/drv info, and other things that would be useful in a roster.

Dec 2, 2018 · Starting this thread to collect images and information regarding Pre-1920 wood boxcars. Was looking for information to see if a recent model could be represented in a Frisco scheme, but could not find much information. This thread will represent notes, hopefully for a future historical or modeling article. Thanks to all who might add information

Sep 6, 2014 · While discussed elsewhere on the site, the USRA DS boxcars that the Frisco had seemed pretty abundant in the steam era, whether with the exterior wood sheathing or the rebuilt, steel-side cars. I want to think that Ertl once produced a pretty good USRA DS ready-to-run model, possibly even in Frisco Line scheme? Best Regards,

Apr 28, 2015 · The trackage, like the BB prototype, is largely in-street running with industries on both sides of the streets. There was a wonderful October 1991 MR article on the Birmingham Belt and its Frisco-run operations, if you are interested in seeing how the prototype looked. A map from that article is on John Stewart's Birmingham Rails website.

Mar 23, 2003 · Re: Lionel manufactured quite a few Frisco items Lionel produced their GE U36B in Frisco red/white with two numbers in the 70s, 8571 powered, 8572 dummy. In 1977 a yellow Frisco hi-cube boxcar was released with number 9610.

Jan 20, 2013 · wpmoreland719 Member Frisco.org Supporter I believe that Rivarossi, IHC, and Con-Cor are all pretty much the same, if you're speaking of passenger cars. If you looking for a cheap knuckle coupler replacement for the horn-hook couplers, McHenry makes knuckle couplers that snap right onto the truck in the same way that the factory horn-hooks do.

Sep 14, 2001 · One plan, the Frisco's long-standing dream of an outlet to the Gulf of Mexico, was finally realized with the completion of the line to Pensacola, Florida in July 1928. To finalize this dream the Frisco purchased the Muscle Shoals, Birmingham and Pensacola Railroad, on July 7, 1925, although responsibility for operating the line was not assumed ...

With two additional later exceptions, the balance of Frisco’s GP7 units were not retired for a decade to a decade and a half later. This unit was one of three units (SLSF 546, 547 and 564) delivered lettered on the long hood sides for the railroad’s Texas subsidiary Quanah, Acme & …
