You haven't mentioned what year you were modeling, but you might be happy to know, and since you plan on changing the number anyway, but after checking Fallen Flags website, it looks like all the B&O switchers were re-lettered with "B & O" only on the hood after 1964. If the spelled out version on your model bothers you, changing to the after 1964 lettering might be an option.

I saw 2 videos of city limits layout and was trying to find more, when I get home from work I'll definitely check those out.

Also according to the B&O 26th street trainweb site this S1 kept the full lettering, I'll post picks with dates when I get home

Shortliner, really great links thanks for posting them. All the interior details inside those buildings are so realistic, seems like no structure is hollow inside.

Heres some pictures of the B&O S1 at 26th street.

This is the same S1 renumbered to 9155 in 1966
