The low-numbered units had black-on-white numberboards to indicate they were LocoTrol masters. The Micro Scale sheet had 7003 as a single number, and I had some Shell Scale black-on-white numbers, so it was a logical choice.
I did notice the black-on-white numbers at the low numbers but did not know why. Thanks for the explanation :tad a:
How did you remove the "southern" at the long hood? Did you find a chemical solution? I am afraid a mechanical solution may do harm to the doors and latches.
Do you have an explanation why Bachmann made some SOU GP50 with 9xxx road numbers? I could not find any prototype. Was there a renumbering I did not notice?
