FM's are cool.

Oddly, I did not include them on my "Kansas City & Gulf" paper roster when I developed the roster back in the early-mid 1990s. This in spite of FM's of some sort being on 3 of my "Foundational Four" railroads I used to guide my decisions about my fictional KC&G. (i.e. "Foundational Four" = Frisco, Mop, Rock Island, KCS.)

FM's on my "Foundational Four" breaks down as follows:

* The Frisco had a small amount of FM switchers.

* The Rock Island had a few FM 4 axle road switchers.

* The KCS had two FM 4 axle road switchers.

I will say, though, the Frisco's were quite good looking in the black w/yellow strip schemes.

Frisco's "Full Stripe" scheme:

Or the Frisco's "Simplified" scheme:

However, the Orange and White scheme? Well, you be the judge:
