a. The diamonds got lost a long time ago when I changed the RDG switchers into freelance industry railroad switchers. They got a simple one digit number at the cab sides. That was also the time when I did the weathering. I am reusing them now again as a base for early CR units but the diamonds are gone... I do also agree with you as I found the diamonds of all patched engines still in place. But looks like they have been painted black for better contrast with the white "CR". The cab sides have been painted black too for the same reason. Some must have been done in a hurry. It looks awful.
b. The only plain green RDG with CR patches I could find is the 2763 -> 9614. That is the rational I intend to use that road number.
c. I did find photos of patched ex. RDG units with yellow/green paint scheme with the road numbers 9619, 9618, 9598, 9892 and 9889. I would be glad if could could point me to a longer lasting road number than 9598. 9598 has been picked by no reason. It was just a random pick.
