Re: [CBQ] O-5-A Extra Order Builder's Plate

FWIW, I photographed an "extra order" BLW builder's plate similar to this one mounted on the tender of ACL 250 - a steam engine preserved in Wilmington, NC - always thought that maybe they ordered a different tender later?

A possible explanation?

Dan - In my O-5-A image collection, the rectangular superheater plates are all mounted over the circular builder's plates on the engineer's side of the smokebox. I see no evidence of any kind of plates being mounted on the fireman's side. Of course, plates were removed during shoppings and were not always reapplied afterwards. Yes, a bit of a mystery as to what the plate was that Hol mentions.

Might it be a superheater plate. I have a locomotive or two in my care that have rectangular superheater plates. I don't have a photo handy. However a google search for "superheater company plate" yields multiple images.
