Caboose SLSF 1322

Hi,

I'm looking for pictures of the Frisco transfer cabooses.

I am building a model with a Moloco kit and would like some clear photographs.

I plan to paint mine yellow.

Thanks,

Colin

 

Here is a picture of a red transfer caboose.

I think I have a yellow one, but cannot locate it.

Hi Glenn,

Super!

If you can find the yellow one too, that would be great, but you have already been a lot of help in determining the placement and style of lettering.

A standard Microscale Frisco caboose decal set looks to be suitable.

Thanks again,

Colin

 

Colin,

One other source for pictures of these transfer cabooses you probably want to add to your collection is Nick Molo's book Frisco/Katy Color Guide to Freight Equipment.

It is published by Morning Sun Books. Please see their web site below.

http://www.morningsunbooks.com/southcat3.html.

In addition to being a good reference for Frisco freight equipment, there are pictures of three of these cabooses from Nick's collection. If you do not know, Nick is Moloco Models.

I also have a book on cabooses that includes a shot or two of one of these transfer cabooses.

I can get you the information on that book as well.

Hi Paul,

That book is a bit expensive seeing as I only have a few Frisco models.

I model mainly BN around 1980, and want a few Frisco models for interchange traffic.

However, I need to start building up a library so I might just buy it.

Thanks,

Colin

 

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the Oddball Decals information.

I have already ordered a Microscale decal set, so I will just have to see when it arrives if it is suitable.

Cheers,

Colin

 

There is also a transfer caboose SLSF 1313.

 

I know the steps say be careful and that in the center of the car it says Springfield Terminal Only.

Can anyone tell me what the other writing is on this caboose?

Is the other writing about the wheels and the brakes?

If you know, please I need help.
