After purchasing a large number of Kris Model Trains on the bay, I am getting interested in the Frank's Roundhouse Models. As I understand it, Frank used the Kris molds (Kusan) and then the molds went Frank. Has anyone compiled a listing of what Frank made. In Grenbergs Guide to Kusan Trains by John O. Bradshaw, there is a almost a complete listing for the Kris Models. If any one has a listing for Franks, could you please share it.

Yes. There is a work-in-progress spreadsheet witth a list of Frank's Roundhouse non-tinplate production in the Files section of this Yahoo group: AMT_Kusan_KMT_Kris_Williams_Trains - Yahoo Groups
The spreadsheet includes links to photos which are hosted on this OGR Forum member’s website: Frank's Roundhouse
HTH,

Beaten to the punch but this a group that has done a file on Franks roundhouse. Paul
For those of you who go to York, Frank's son Jack is a vendor in the Orange Hall, booth BB13, RPO Trains. So if you have any questions that may need answering, Jack has first hand knowledge, as he helped his dad.

Hi Don:
Yes, thanks for adding that as Jack has been very helpful in providing much missing information for the spreadsheet mentioned above from his days helping his dad Frank producing the Frank’s Roundhouse cars.

I just purchased Frank's Roundhouse dark brown boxcar. The car is in excellent shape but has packing tape residue on both sides. what would you recommend to remove the sticky stuff ?
