The Frisco High Line

Not to be a nitpicker but aren't those GP40's. Looks awesome!:udrool:

I'm no expert on the different nuances of the GP38 and GP40 but according to the author of both models flaimrail they are GP38-2's. They're older models but still hold up very well by today's standards. I actually think the creator was ahead of his time.

Actually, they are configured as GP40-2s, notice the water glass on the engineer's side rear.

Thanks for the correction guys and my apologies to flaimrail. Another late night post and a brain fart. They are indeed GP40-2's.

GP38, GP38-2, and GP39-2 locomotives have two radiator fans.

GP40 and GP40-2 have three radiator fans.

Erm, Katy only had GP40s...though we do need some yellow ex-Kennecot Copper GP39-2s!

(Don't make me get Katy Power by George Collias! :hehe: good lord, I think I forgot my meds again...)

A BN train picks up a few more loaded hoppers at the grain elevator before heading north.

Thanks. Have you ever spent any time in Bolivar, Clinton, or anywhere in between?

So somehow I've missed this thread for the last six months...

Bravo, you've captured the feel of rural Missouri that I can't seem to nail. Brilliant.

Thank you for making me read through all the pages at 6 AM when I should be sleeping...

Beautiful work! Love it!
May I ask where you got those fine crossing signals?


Thank you.

Which signals are you asking about Woody? For the most part I've only used Clem's or BNSF50 's signals.

Frisco #303 approaches Flemington, Mo around mile marker 143. This one man crew has to spot his two tank cars at Skelly Oil in Osceola.Then continue to the North Clinton yard to leave his hoppers for a local customer. Finally, he can then call it the day.

The ones that seem a little more high definition than BNSF50's.
They were on the last two pages.

They are his (bnsf50). <kuid:39134:100417>. I think he might have used a little weathering on his skin for them. They look perfect for my route. The High Line only had a handful of overhead crossing signals between Kansas City and Springfield and were installed more than 50 years ago. Back then then the signals were more of a simple design without any crosswalks.

I love your screens Derrick, you are one of a very small group of route builders that have a great deal of talent for it!

Hmm, might have to remember to stop there and get some mushrooms!
