The G&M railroad is on the road

Now that you can see the artwork you'll need to number your engines and rolling stock

The Official G&M numbering system is explained here.
The reporting marks are GMRR and the numbers:

123456 - 7

1 - the first digit represents the type of car:

(1) Standard boxcar

(2) Hi-cube boxcar

(3) Passenger Car

(4) Reefer (ice or machanical)

(5) Flat car

(6) Gondola ( standard fixed end ,drop end,coal,woodchip)

(7) Hopper

(8) Tank Car

(9) for all others including cabooses and MOW equipment.

2345 - the middle four digits would be individual member's ID number with leading “0”’s - which can be found by hovering the mouse over a member’s name and noting the number at the bottom of your browser at the very end of the link. (It is the last 2, 3 or 4 digits after the “=” sign.). If you can't see the link - then click on your name and when the next screen opens, you will see the link with the "=" at the end of the link.

6 - the last digit in the grouping of 6, is for the car number for each individual. This “digit” can be any number or letter giving everyone the ability to have 36 identical cars 0 to 9 and A to Z

7 - the number after the hyphen relates to the type of loads that the car will normally carry. This gives a huge amount of combinations so that no members will have identical numbered cars.

(1) Grain

(2) Sand

(3) Plastic Pellets

(4) Flammable Liquid

(5) Livestock

(6) Dry Goods

(7) Frozen Items

(8) Produce

(9) Fruits / Vegetables

(0) All other loads

Car numbers with the G&M designation and herald that are made and used by individuals need to contain their member’s ID as described above and shall be their responsibility to keep track of these numbers.

So, once you get your car or engine lettered and decaled and numbered.
