Athearn Kits come with Plastic wheels and EZ-Mate couplers. Accurail kits come with plastic wheels and accumate couplers. Branchline kits come with metal wheels and accumate couplers, P2K kits come with metal wheels and P2K couplers. MDC is still plastic wheels and X2F couplers. Old Athearn stock may have X2F couplers instead of EZ-Mates. <br /> <br />Accurail offers extra numbers via a cheap mail-in form (it's $3 for enough to do 12 cars), Branchline and P2K offer multiple numbers for most kits, but it's 1 number per kit, with multiple seperate kits, usually 2 available numbers for Blueprint, 6 for Yardmaster and 4-6 for P2K kits. <br /> <br />You can normally buy sheets of Numbers which should match most lettering. Unfortunately if you model Canadian Roads, there are no sheets to match the font used, as Canadian Roads do not use Railroad Roman or Gothic.
