Hi, all: Would anybody know where an H.K. Porter builders plate could be traced to identify the engine it belonged to? Specifically, builders number 7493. Thanks, Steve Hunter |

The lists I have say the Old Dominion loco is Porter c/n 7499, not 7493. Previous threads on this loco: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=22687 viewtopic.php?f=1&t=22691 SteamLocomotive.Info: http://www.steamlocomotive.info/vlocomo ... splay=1230 http://www.steamlocomotive.com/misc/ima ... tellow.jpg |

Quote: Well looks like their is a misprint somewhere I'll ask the fellow who was asking to confirm the number on his plate. In the meantime, is there a member of the NRHS Old Dominion Chapter on line who could confirm: a. Whether their engine is wearing its plate(s) b. If it has plate(s) what number is on them? I read somewhere that Porter only put one builder plate on each engine, not one per side. Not being a Porter expert by any means, I'm wondering- is this true? Thanks! Steve Hunter |
