I was wondering if the F3 Texas Special F3 diesels also had switchers on the same line as lionel 600 MKT .
Only difference I see is the added Frisco emblem .. would any switchers use the Frisco decal on any of the switchers back in the day ?
Thanks for the info ..DANiel

Back in the day, Frisco switchers were black with yellow striping and no herald.

So ... no switchers ever had the mkt and frisco makings ? only the F3 's ?
Except for the fantasy LCCA (Lionel Collector's Club of America) offering from a couple of years ago, no:
The important thing to remember is the Texas Special was a jointly operated passenger train by the MKT and Frisco. That's why the diesels, E7's-not F3's in real life, carried both heralds. Otherwise, the MKT and Frisco were two entirely separate railroads. Both railroads supplied locomotives for the train: the MKT units had the MKT herald leading while the Frisco units had the Frisco herald leading.

Thanks for the info ! Maybe if the MKT and Frisco had continued operation a switcher might of been need ! So my railroad will show what could of been at least ...Happy New Year to "All" ...DANiel
