Z Cylinder Class Plates

[NW Mailing List]

Thanks Jimmy and Ed. It’s amazing what you can find when there’s multiple eyes helping!

Now that you folks have me looking, I think I was missing them because of the (understandably) low resolution of the archive images and the ones that I can see appear to be black (or covered in soot). 

Ed, thanks for the observation that they are only on the rear cylinders. That helped as well.

Thanks everyone!

Also, USRA 2-8-8-2 Series, Classic Power 3A, by Dressler, has a photo of Z1a 1361 sporting a class badge on her rear cylinders as well. I have seen a few other examples in books, (a magnifying glass helps!). -Ed Burnett, Lynchburg
