I have a couple of PC number boards. The EMD boards are fiberglass with
black and white markings. Certainly easy enough to replicate.
However, there is a certain satisfaction associated with collecting real RR

My home address has a *very* New Haven flavor to it... 4610 Shoreline.
PC 4610 just happens to be an ex-NH loco, so it would fit very well. :^)
