Loren,

The decal numbers, for example, are "CB&Q 196", "CB&Q 360", etc. 
Would these be actual car numbers?

These numbers and names are so small no one will ever see them. But 
I guess I'm just curious and will be nutty enough that I will put 
them on anyway.

Thanks, as always, for your help.

John
