Time to bore you with more Frisco HO steam models.
Author: Frisco1522

I've had and sold so many PFM Russian Decapods that I can't even remember. This one is superdetailed and a new doghouse built. PFM's doghouse is beautiful but too small. Always something...
Can motor with Soundtraxx.

PFM 1632 before the pump was moved to the pilot deck.  I did one of those too but don't have a picture of it handy.

Same story as the 3744. NP 0-6-0, both heavily rebuilt .
3804 is a NWSL USRA 0-6-0 with a lot of rebuild and new stuff.

PFM USRA 2-8-2 heavily modicated. Tall cab as some of the 4000s were. Akane tender because PFM's was wrong for Frisco. Last run of model by PFM.
Time to let you rest for a while. 
More later if you'd like.

I have a PFM/United Russian Decapod dolled up for KCM&O!     It's paint job is "new" never got around to weathering it.    Also I love the PFM/United USRA like Pacifics and Mikes, I say "like" as most were done with a so called Western style cab not a USRA cab.    The last couple of runs or run did finally have a true USRA cab.    I like the Western cab as it is more akin to the roads I like and model.   I have several in the line to do up for CNW.   Also can use them with USRA or Western cab for Chicago Great Western as seen in the many pics posted on the Nostalgia side by Marty Bernard.   I should print out a set of them and stick them in a binder.     Keep showing us your steam roster!   I do not model Frisco but loved thier steam power.

Those sure are nice Don. Great to see them again.  Loved Frisco mikes but not the Hallmark one.

I understand you have dismantled or downsized your layout. But all those locos parked around the roundhouse must have been awesome.
