That about says it, and I don’t see anywhere else to post this: Bought a used Bachmann 2-truck Shay that is missing both the, “Lima,” builder’s plates that attach to each side of the smokebox. None listed at Bachmann parts. Not likely to actually find a pair, but if anyone knows a source, please let me know. Thanks for reading, Dennis

Try Ozark they used to have plates for various manufacturers.
Them darn vandals will steal just about anything.
Apparently common on the first run Shays, I recently unboxed one to check it before selling and both of the builders plates and the metal Shay signs on the cab sides were in the bottom of the box. Crappy Chinese glue I guess.
Your in luck Dennis, check your messages
Wow! Thank you, Aaron. I just sent you a message.
Aaron, I just sent you another PM. Also, my thanks to all of you here for the help.
Dennis
You can still get them from Bachmann parts. https://estore.bachmanntrains.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=69_143&products_id=4956&zenid=gteqioah59ha9762hh2na01ln4
Thanks, Mickey. They must have added them back in because I look for a long time in the past. Fortunately, Aaron, a kindly forum member sent me two. So I’m good. Although I wonder now if I ought to order spares…
…or use a better glue.
