Building a "O" scale Brisbane FM Part 9



No photos of the model today but a couple of photos and some details I have been chasing up of the route number boards. Sadly No 494 is missing it's boards and the photos attached are of the setup on No 554. The top of the bracket is level with the top of the door opening. Historical photos of 494 show that it's boards were mounted in the same position.

The numbers themselves are painted on both sides of metal plates and held together with metal rings at the top. The set of numbers were pulled out and then flipped over to make the selection.

The overall dimension of both numbers together is 310mm x 220mm. The frame is slightly larger as in the photos and is angled forward with the rear standing out 45mm
