@Dj'sOgaugetrains posted:I’m considering the frisco meteor 6 car set with a B&O 14-4 sleeper add-on. At this point getting a frisco meteor E7 is a long shot. Can you suggest any other motive power that would pull the train? Maybe an E8 or FA or PA?
The Frisco Meteor will be a cool consist to have. No One has Ever done it. I’ve reserved one plus extras including the B&O 14-4. The B&O car becomes a pool car for my National Ltd. The Frisco 14-4 also becomes a thru sleeper for the Nat consist. Nice to be able to use the cars like this.
Frisco didn’t have PAs but did have FAs. The are primarily freight diesels but I’ve seen pix where they substitute for an ailing E. They are brown and yellow. Eventual Best bet Will be when 3rd Rail finally gets back and does another E8 run. The Frisco E8s are beautiful. You’ve some time to decide to reserve a Meteor but Scotts Just posted the engineering drawings and that reservations will close early 2025. I look at this as Q1 until a specific date is posted.
Cheers 😉
