I grew up in Springfield, MO, which was a major point on the Frisco and the location of their major shops and where they built the 4200 and 4300 class steam locomotives, converted from 2-10-2's. They did indeed have a relationship with the Frisco and the Frisco provided much technical help in the initial building of the Silver Dollar City railroad. I remember seeing the first train over the newly built tracks in the 1960's. I don't know any other details of that relationship, but they certainly did approve the use of the Frisco name on the railroad.
