Reply To: Mopac steam number boards

Joe,

A quick look through the online photograph library shows a lot of locomotives 2-8-2 and larger had them at some point. It also depends what era your modeling, earlier versions of some locomotives didn’t have them until they were added later.

If you’re modelling a specific locomotive I would check this website and Google for images that could confirm their use.

As far as the number board I made, It’s based off of photographs, previously models and a little reverse engineering from a steam locomotive paint guide from 1926.

The model should fit 7” scale numbers. I’ll test it out tomorrow just to make sure.
