The Frisco railroad passenger car roster included a lot of round roofed cars, especially headend cars. I do not expect to find this style of car in Frisco livery, so I patiently search for bargains. I do not know which manufacturer made this RPO pictured above. It has a wood roof and stamped metal sides. Actually quite realistic as compared to several other manufacturers.
It was made as 2-rail, so I had to refit it with MTH heavyweight trucks. The truck coupler shanks were hideously long, so I did some “surgery” to get the pictured results. I have some custom made Frisco decals to be added later. It also arrived without mail hooks, but I have a set of those to apply after I am through with all the rough handling work.
