Ed, Is your number boards fully cast or open?? If they are flat you paint them your background color usually with a brush. then decal them. If they are open cut clear styrene put your decals on the plastic in as an insert. Sometimes there is enough room to put an led in the numberboard makes it really nice if you can light it up. thanks bert

For those of you who model freelance roads or paint your locos, how do you put numbers on your number boards? The area seems too small to use decals and even so you'd have to fix four separate numbers. The area also seems to be too small to paint unless it's done by the manufacture. Ideas? The other question has to do with ditch lights for diesels. If anyone is using ditch lights on their diesels, I'd like to know how you attached them and what you used to house the lights. Thanks.
