Attractive and uniquely interesting engraved re-sawn RRT board plaques are truly one of a kind since each board is unlike any other due to staining, discolorations, aging, species and use conditions. To insure customer satisfaction, a picture of the actual plaque board with a transparent computer overlay of the locomotive showing the exact engine position and appearance of the plaque is provided to the purchaser, prior to engraving. Typical RRT plaque sizes [WxL] proportional to subject locomotives: [4 ”x14”or18”] and [6.5”x24”,26”,28”,or32”]Each sequentially numbered plaque has at least one actual spike hole or original manufacturers pre-drilled pilot hole, demonstrating the authenticity of the board. A clear sealer and finish is applied to each RRT board plaque to enhance the natural color shadings and patina of the wood. The polyurethane sealer conforms to EPA advisories for use of previously treated wood.A transparent label noting rail line tie source, species, preservative used and EPA advisory is placed on the back surface of each plaque.
