Ha! No.

We had an unnumbered replica number plate from a Sandy River RR. We numbered this plate with a 6 in the style of the plate the locomotive wore on the Sandy River & Rangeley Lakes.

The rest of the lettering was done with magnetic signage, and/or a temporary sheet over the cab woodwork. The 6's in the headlight are inverted nines, however.

Overall, we're quite pleased with the results.
