Where can I get Bowser?Cary “flying numberboards”?

From Bowser? http://www.bowser-trains.com/

New Haven–

If it’s the number boards I’m thinking of, (SP, Rio Grande style) I believe they’re put out by Cal-Scale, which is owned by Bowser. Precision Scale (PSC) also makes them.

New Haven–

Don’s fast turning into one of the most helpful guys on the forum, by golly! Not only are your ‘flying numberboards’ there (Cal-Scale part 190-260), but I also found that they make loco deck plates and USRA trailing trucks. And boy, do I need THOSE!

Don–thank you VERY much!!

Tom,

Thanks! It’s nice that I’m finally able to ‘give back’ after taking so much knowledge from the forum for so long…

Now, about those buttes…[:-^]

Don–

Cripplebush shipped my Buttes this morning from NY. Should have them in about a week. Don’t worry, you’ll be able to hear the screaming back there in Austin, LOL!

Thanks Tom & Don! Does the Cal-scale part 190-260 resemble a Nickel Plate Numbernoard because that is what I’m looking for.

New Haven,

You need the Cary part #13-184. If you look through the link I supplied, you will find that the part is actually labeled “Number Boards, C&O, NKP, etc.”.

New Haven–

What Don said. My bad, the numberboards I was seeing in the Cal-Scale catalogue are more of the style of the SP/Rio Grande, which would be mounted on either side of the smokestack, not the Nickel Plate which would be mounted more above the front of the boiler. Sorry about that.
