Looking at the prototype photos and the model I went back and measured the number boards from Details West and found them to be both too short in height and too long in width. I added a piece of 2”x 10” to the top and reduced the width to match the dimensions from the museums RS-3. There’s not much surface for glue since the brackets sit on the curved areas so I’ll add a piece of brass wire to the front and side of each for strength. There were Phase III locomotives (see 1073 below) without these large number boards if you’d like to avoid making these but what fun would that be?
