Does anyone have drawings of the Keystone number plates used on P.R.R. passenger engines? catnap@westpa.net |

Larry, I would check with the PRRT&HS group and the state railroad museum at Strasburg. I have seen drawings of the keystones over the years but I cannot remember where I saw them. Please be careful in this area as there are PLENTY of reproduction keystones floating around. I have seen way too many in my 41 years of collecting plates. steamfan@crusoe.net |

Keystone number plate dimensions, taken off PRR 460's original plate, in the vault at the RRMPa, as follows: Total overall height = 17" Top width = 16.5" Base width = 11.25" Shoulder indentation = 3.5" Height from shoulder to top = 3" Side slope = 14.75" I've made some beautiful copies in plywood from these dimensions. You'll have to figure the angles yourself, but that should present little headache. I have the dimensions for a round G5 plate, taken from a LIRR loco. They seem small. Anyone at the Museum have the diameter of the freight plates? Aurora7@Juno.com |

Thanks for sharing the dimensions. Would these be the same for all steam keystone plates? Joshua joshua@joshuakblay.com |

It's obvious that the T-1's had curved number plates. The size of the classic PRR numerals also varied. Aurora7@Juno.com |
