All-

As I recall they were made up and distributed on a fantrip, presumably after Menk cancelled the rebuilding of #5632.   I do recall for some time after the fantrip the Collectors, Brakemen and Conductors on the dinkies wore them, sometimes on their vests under the uniform coat, and would flash them if they knew you or that you were a railfan.

Maybe somebody in the BRHS or on this list knows the details of the story…who made the buttons and how they got distributed.

Thanks!  I do believe I have an image of the Menk  button.
