Locomotive Number Plates

Recently a good friend gave me some number plates he purchased at North Bedeque Antiques on Prince Edward Island. I am grateful for them, and I asked if he would mind going back to see what other engine numbers were available there. This is the list he gave me, current as of late September. They are all CN number plates as far as I can tell.

1759 - quantity 2 (MLW RSC-14)
2004, 2023, 2028, 2038 (MLW C-630M)
2102 (BBD HR616)
2314, 2317, 2322, 2334 (MLW M-636)
3529, 3581 (MLW M-420(W))
8710 (MLW S13u)

The store is North Bedeque Antiques, North Bedeque (near Summerside), PEI, postal code C1N 4J9. Thelma Moase is the owner and the telephone number is (902) 887 3298.

Don't forget that Ron Leblanc had number plates for sale as well.

CN number boards

I picked up my locomotive number boards from Ron Leblanc yesterday. Here they are:



1763 - RSC-14 rebuilt from CN 3861
3665 - RS-18
6765 - FPA-4, preserved at the Canadian Railway Museum

I plan on mounting at least 3665's number board in some kind of light box so I can backlight it, like a real locomotive.

Here's how to get your own locomotive number boards.

CN Number Boards For Sale

A friend of mine, Ron Leblanc, is selling a large number of number boards from CN diesels. The boards are mostly from MLW units scrapped in the Moncton area. He is selling them for $20 each, or a little less for boards in poor condition. The complete list is at www.theboykos.com/nbcn/numberboards.shtml.

He also has a few builder's plates for sale, listed on the same page.
