I've got two of these from the "E R Models" brand (same loco, different name on the box). Mine have a brass tube over the lightbulb that acts as both a light guide and a heatsink, and the numberboards light up fairly well. I spent a few minutes painting the edges of the numberboards which improves their appearance massively (they just pop out if you press gently from behind). If yours has the brass tube, you could try sawing a small amount off the end of it - this would result in the light being unshaded further back and therefore more light getting to the numberboards. Hope this helps!
