Model Railroading > Overland Models BrassDate: 11/21/25 14:29 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.

Super knowledgeable folks, nice website and the brass guide is up to date and accurate. Good luck!

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.

I guess it just depends on the question itself.
