I am currently searching for patterns for Lima builder plate’s. I am a volunteer in a steam powered sawmill in Brooks, Oregon on the grounds of Antique Powerland Museums Association. The mill is run by a 1906 Lima Shay Locomotive boiler, with no plates known to exist, so I have been appointed to find patterns for a boiler plate that we could make to kind of “seal the deal” Thank You for your help! you may see some pictures of the mill at www.antiquepowerland.com , also if you would like to look up the locomotive by the serial number it is 1627. Anything will help at this point. Thank you for looking.
