Thanks to all of you. I had been searching that problem for a long time; finding no answer, I joined the forum especialy for that reason just yesterday and came out of the dark in less than 24 hours. I was not a forum fan before, but now I can appreciate their usefulness. Incidentally, I am in O Sacle (2 Rail) with DCC, just beginning a 32X12 around the wall eye level shelf layout. Having been involved with full sacle railroads all my life, ligthed numberboards are a must for me. The first locos I want to fix are two factory painted Red Caboose GP-9 (one CN and one CP); RC insruction sheets clearly specify that the kit does not provide lighted number boards; however they are made of thick clear plastic (possibly lucite) with a black surface and perfect white numerals; but when I tried to backlight them, light filtered through the black surface which therefore appeared grayish, while the numerals stod out as black shadows...not very prototypical indeed!
