Hi all,
My brother and I have finished our Number Board prototypes, and have a few pics of the progress. We are considering selling these, and are curious if anyone is interested. If so, you can email us at:
cnctrainsco@yahoo.com
These full size replicas are made from select pine, and poplar. Each one takes approx 1-2 weeks to make, and would have to be built to order. Three main different colors include yellow (bee), solid black, and black with silver boarder. Numbers are laser cut steel, and resemble a brushed steel look, however, can be painted silver to match border, or white to resemble prototype (bee numbers painted black unless specified). The boards are made from poplar and select pine, and on the back, feature a hanger on the top and a set of rubber feet on the bottom. A portion of any proceeds will be donated to help the NG railroads. Click thumbnails for pics, and feel free to email for info.
