The Microscale decal sheet arrived today for the number boards. Sometimes you just get lucky; the five numbers on the start of a row were 19586 so cutting out the numbers were easy almost like I planned it. I painted the number boards Vallejo black and once dry gave it two brush coats of Tamiya Clear. Then applied the decals and fixed with Microset Blue and then red solution. ACI labels were cut from a Hearld King ACI set and glued on the handrailings support. Will add the radio antenna once I find out how they were mounted. The TSU-1100 decoder sounds great. I have one more P2k GP-18 next up just looking at photos to decide which one.

Hope you enjoyed the build.
