I should have thought of that when I wrote the initial question! Thanks for asking. I'm working on models in the as-built Kuhler scheme.

What paint scheme are we talking about?

Hi there,
I'm working on a couple of the Fox Valley wagon-top cars - unfortunately both came lettered with the same car number.
The good news: - the lettering comes off very easily with orange based pumice hand cleaner used in automotive departments. A small blob of the stuff placed with a toothpick on a single digit allows one to remove only part of the car number (or re-weigh info, etc). I place the blob of cleaner on the letter or number in question and, about 15 minutes later, sweep the digit away with a swish of a paint brush. I run it under the tap, using the brush and water to remove any remaining cleaner and fragments of the letter and let it air dry.
Now I'm trying to find decals that are of the same style and size as used by Fox Valley. As one who hasn't previously modelled any B & O rolling stock, I wonder if anyone else has done any re-numbering and can suggest a suitable decal for this purpose?
