HO EMD F7-A number boards source.

Hello All!

I just purchased an HO Bachmann Santa Fe F7A DCC Sound Value locomotive (kit #64301). I have always loved those EMD F units and that fantastic Santa Fe bright paint scheme [Y]. Anyway, I digress…the model comes unmarked in terms of road number. So, I would like to put some number boards on this unit. From what I can tell, Santa Fe F units had black backgrounds with white numbers. Where can I find number boards to fit this kit? Are their detail sets available for these units?

As always, all help and advice is much appreciated!

Happy Modeling,

Don.

I’ve been happy with the ones I got from Shell Scale:

Hopefully something matches up with Santa Fe practice. If not, I’d try the historical society.

Many thanks! I found exactly what I needed. Spot on!
