Joe-- While I'm in HO, I've had trouble finding Frisco passenger cars, too. I recommend Pat Hiatte's articles in the December '03 Trains andModel Railroader on the Frisco. The website had this info by him as well: [url]http://www.trains.com/Content/Dynamic/Articles/000/000/004/636iqpsv.asp[/url] Andy Sperandeo was kind enough to offer this advice to me a few years ago: [quote]QUOTE: Hi Gary, The trains Frisco E units pulled were an interesting mix. The head-end cars – baggage, express, and Railway Post Office – were all heavyweights and kept the old Pullman Green paint. The SL-SF did buy some lightweight cars with stainless-steel fluting, apparently from Pullman-Standard and possibly ACF. They had red roofs, ends, window bands, and underbody skirts, with fluted stainless sheathing above and below the windows. There were also some old heavyweight coaches and Pullman sleepers painted red and silver to match the lightweights, with shadow striping to simulate fluting. And there were often cars from connecting lines in Frisco trains, especially the Pennsylvania RR. The Pennsy had some cars painted in Frisco colors, but photos also show Tuscan Red PRR sleepers in Frisco trains. It'll take some work to model these trains, but the resulting consists would be distinctive. By the way, thanks for signing your name. So long, Andy -------------------- Andy Sperandeo MODEL RAILROADER Magazine [/quote] I also recommend the Frisco site, [url]http://www.frisco.org/[/url].
