I posted some further info on GN's O-8 Mikado in that other thread. In the meantime, this is the license plate on my car....

Neat plate there Kennedy !!

The Pennsy K4 fans have the same problem....

We need those British style plates that are as wide as your car/truck!

We ran into a guy at Berea, OH with Pennsylvania plates that read SD70MAC. That's what got us thinking.

MI SoS has a utility to allow you to see if what you want on a plate is available. It doesn't approve anything, nor guarantee you can get it. But, it at least allows you to see if what you want is available.

As an aside, I found another use for that utility. I have a bunch of 1/18 scale Die Cast vehicles. What I did was type in a bunch of random letters and numbers, and then save the resulting GIF image. Using an image program, I resized it down to the size of where the plate would go on the vehicles.

Print, cut out, and glue in place!

I pulled mine from the California DMV's site, I think it does the same as the MI SoS one.

I'll have to check it out. I wouldn't mind being able to get a selection of plates from various states, so they all wouldn't be from one state....
