I'm trying to scale some lettering from a photo and the builder's plate is in it. It's on an S1. Can anyone provide the measurements of the length and width of a similar plate so I can scale my lettering dimensions correctly? Thanks.

I recently found these NOS Bombardier/Alco builder's plates. Can anyone ID what these attach to... I'm guessing a 251 6 cyl LNG generator, but I'm no expert. Any info would be great.

Thanks kindly,
Robert
