Modeling News
- FDDM&S decals - Fort Dodge Des Moines and Southern decals can still be purchased from Gary Groat 2119 Hayes Ave. Ames, Iowa 50010
The sets contain 2 decal sheets each.
The sets are $12 each plus $1.25 shipping. Extra sets, add $.25 for each one.
- New FDDM&S Hopper - In early 1959, Fort Dodge Des Moines & Southern purchased 8 former Louisville & Nashville 50-ton open 2-bay hopper cars for gravel and ballast service. The cars were repainted in oxide red with a stenciled white company logo and lettering. They were assigned numbers 13 through 20 and marked for “Company Material Only”. The cars were probably not interchanged.
The C&NW Historical Society has contracted with Accurail to produce two car kits from this number series and they will be offered for the first time at the Annual Meet in Des Moines , IA. Since this is a non-interchange car, we have not produced large quantities. Only two photographs have been found and these are the road numbers we have selected, #13 and #18. This is a special opportunity to purchase an unusual car directly related to our Annual Meet. The price is $16.00 each, or $30.00 for the pair.
