VGN Trainmaster builder and data plates

[NW Mailing List]

Thanks Ken. I wonder if the F-M plates were stainless steel as well, though I think before 1955 or '56 they were typically brass.

All the DE plates I've seen, as well as the EL-1XX plates of the EL-Cs were stainless steel with black backgrounds. 

Attached is a DE plate from 61, I think I have a 55 and 48 as well.

Hello, I'm new to the list and researching the Virginian's use of F-M H24-66 Trainmasters. I know they used both Ph. 1b and Ph. 2 bodies over I believe two separate orders. 

I am trying to pin down the form of F-M builder plates, VGN unit Designation ("DE-##") plates and the other small data plates. Were each of these brass? A mix of brass and stainless steel/aluminum, or the latter? Did this change from the 1st order 1b units to the 2nd order Ph. 2 units?

I have been trying to determine this rivet-counting detail but the few color photos I have of VGN trainmasters are just not clear enough to determine this.

Thanks for any assistance you can provide.
