According to the Marre/Harper Frisco Diesel Power book, the orange and white scheme began in 1965.

I don’t have a Frisco crossing and maybe never will, but I suppose I can conveniently ignore this scheme. Frisco was not a party to the WTA switching agreement, and after the early fifties they left their old engine facility south of Douglas and moved to north of 29th Street, so the Frisco equipment was not exactly frequently seen.

On the other hand, I might need a model of Frisco 261 which was the Wichita switcher from the time it was built til it was retired, and it still lives in Wichita today at the GPTM. It’s green and white.
