How do I tell the age of my narrow gauge
« on: November 10, 2010, 10:18:06 am »
I have no I.D. tag, I know its pre 67 for the round windows, and newer then a buddies 52 for the speedo and steering wheel center, is there any other ways of telling? Thanks in advance.

It's the same rear-end that is in the pics of Mike's 57 rebuild, so I'm assuming 1957-67 year. Thanks

If you have the original engine in the machine you can tell by the serial number.  Bombardier kept track of the engine number and it would have been on your data tag.  Try the museum in Valcourt and they may be able to help you.  Good luck.

What about the year they changed to the square inserted door handles? Any guess
