[quote user="ns3010"]The numberboards for my GP50 are lost[/quote] Did you try to cut them with an old and abused Xuron tool so they'd fit in the shell, and did they fly off into the depths of the basement? Luckily in my case we were able to find them! [:-^]Vincent: That's why I model a shortline with no sound... Getting the correct prototype details and installing sound is just so darn expensive! When I have a detail problem with one of my units, I either ignore it (nobody can tell me I'm wrong!) or have the "shop" fix it just like on a real shortline. Of course, the FRA would have a field day with all my missing grabs, broken handrails, and painted over windows and numberboards (although the paint was done by a contractor), which the shop says they'll fix "someday..." For sound, I can live without it. My booster would fry under the load (I already have overloaded it several times, temporarally shutting it down and causing all 6 locos in Run 8 on a 4% grade to stall and dump a bunch of cars on the ground!) and it's just too expensive, to the point that if all my engines had sound, I'd have run out of money while still on the benchwork stage of my layout!
