david,
have a photo of my dad and the engineer he was firing for that trip
taken in front of the 9905 believe it is sometime in 1941, guessing
summer/fall. the number is painted on the unit, photo showes
engineers side not firemans side. never noticed the 'f' but maybe
they are in front of it. am not at home so can't check photo at
present. if no one else can provide further info will definately
check for you when i get back home.
