Default RCEME Workshop 27

Can anyone tell me where it was located? That’s where my M37CDN engine was rebuilt.

Hi Clint. I could be wrong, but I think most of the workshops had a 3-digit identifier. There is/was a workshop in Esquimalt, BC (workshop 217). Check your tag again, sometimes the numbers are faint, or partly stamped over each other.

I will check again, it’s in a really hard to see area between the fuel and oil pumps. Sure looks like 27 though. I was kinda surprised because most of them seem to be 202 workshop.

Just double checked. It is indeed 27.

Just a wild thought but if the rebuild date is pre-unification, could the Workshop have been two digit coded, or in Germany?

Your right Clint, I found two other photos of engine rebuild tags with workshop 27 clearly visible like yours. Perhaps Rob or Ed have some additional info on the identity of that workshop.

...and to David's point, the dates are post-unification.

Not sure how far back RCEME used the LAD workshop numbers but 27 was a WW2 workshop number. Maybe a carry over?
