This is only my second post on the prototype forum in a year. Anyway, I model Frisco, and IMEX makes a four-pack in Frisco logo (along with many other lines/fallen flags–one set being on ebay currently). They look okay–suspect will go for more than I’m willing to pay–IMEX still makes them in Frisco logo. My question is, how common was it for the actual railroad to have trucks in their logo? It seems that most of the transportation to/from the trains (we’re talking transition era here–the trucks are 40’s–50’s) would be done by the specific vendors, e.g. post office, food vendors, other ground transport companies, etc. rather than the particular railroad. My memory from the 60’s in Missouri doesn’t halp me much here, but I don’t recall seeing a lot of Frisco trucks running around much. Other than transporting cargo/supplies for the loco/train itself, what would these trucks have been transporting? Sorry if this seems too basic a question, and I might just go ahead and get some of these trucks anyway, as I think it is okay to get items just because they may look “cool” on the layout, but this issue does raise my curiosity. Thanks.
