One of the distinguishing features on Canadian National steam locomotives was the brass number plates located below the headlight on the smokebox.An original plate is a collector's dream item and if you could find one the cost would likely be in the thousands of dollars.Fortunately I found a contact in Brantford Ontario who makes replica plates from resin and I recently obtained a full sized plate #6213 to go along with a smaller version #5588.
