Number of Overland Brass Pieces Produced for a Particular Item?
Author: wabash2800

Is there a ready source to find that out? I know that Overland no longer produces brass, but I contacted the owner and it sounded like it would be chore for him to look it up. And I never heard back from him.

brasstrains.com has a brass guide tab that allows you to search pieces....most times the data will show a build number for a particular model/run.  You will have to set up a profile (free/easy) to gain access to that feature.

Thanks all. I will check that out. I have the large double-track, camelback brass truss bridge in HO. I was wondering how many were built.

OMI did a "First 25 Years" book or something like that which showed the # of pieces for those models. I used to have one but sold it.

I am finding such a book listed as "The First 10 Years", but not "The First 25 Years". If there is no "First 25 years" I don't think my bridge will be in the book.

I have the first 10 years of brass my Overland.  If anyone is interested I would part with it make me an offer.  I'm 89 and t does me no good now.

I defer to the gentleman with the first 10 years. Actually sounds better to me too.

Thanks much. I finally did get a chance to check that out. There were 150 of this particular bridge built.
