GGD Frisco Texas Special E7

TSU SamOGR Forum Member

Spoke with JD's Train's tonight as I heard they were thinking about doing a run of Golden Gate Depot Texas Special E7's in Frisco livery. He said he is thinking about it, actually he is looking at doing both Frisco and Katy in both RR's numbers (each road had two sets of engines) for a total of 4 "AA" units. But, he will only do it if Scott Mann at GGD can get the look right for the plated siding. I would suggest if anyone is interested in getting a Frisco set of Texas Specials, you contact JD's as no one else has made them in O gauge and probably no one else will. As an aside, I had a very nice visit with him about Frisco and Santa Fe roads. Hope he can get these done!

Good Day Greg,

I ordered both the Frisco and Katy "Texas Special" AA sets from JD's. I look forward to seeing these. I'd like to see Golden Gate Depot someday offer the Frisco Meteor passenger train.

Regards,

Frank

I sent him a note imploring him to do the Frisco set. Keep those fingers crossed!

Now if we can get Scott to revive the Frisco Firefly he announced, and cancelled, some 8 years ago!

Maybe a set of GGD cars too!

I'd have to then a Frisco TS to my collection. I had a very hard time passing that up when Lionel made it.

I would love to see 3rd Rail nail this engine.

Wasn't there two sets of cars, one Frisco and one Katy?

Which set had cars named for the Saint Louis suburbs?

RMT has made the 'FRISCO' version of the Texas Special EMD cab units...RMT92648...

...and a matching B unit RMT92748 too...

...and also the matching 'FRISCO' version passenger cars...4 cars will be available by Summer 2012...
