Overland Models Brass
Author: 4745

When Overland Models was producing their great models, most diesel models had a number on the bottom
telling how many was in the production run ie 67 of 104
Does the 104 refer to the number in an individual road number or does it refer to the production run number?
The question relates to models with a number of different road numbers shown on the box.
Thanks. Graham.

Yes, the 104 would be the total number produced in the run. Could be 2 different road numbers, or six numbers. Depended how popular the models were. UP was always very popular, with many different road numbers.

Wasn't his dad the founder and owner of Overland? I asked Brian a similar question about a brass product and he said his dad would know more about it and Brian never go back with me. No offense to Brian.

I've asked questions over the years and he's answered them. I guess it just depends on the question itself.

I've always found Brian Marsh to be a very sensible and down to earth person, much like his father. I would have NO PROBLEM e-mailing him. If he doesn't know, he'll tell you, straight up.
