<DIV>Yeah, some zero-cost options really make me wonder what the

do a five minute google search to get the locomotive number at least close -
especially on diesels. But then again, that is why I make decals!</DIV>

<DIV>P.S. I just did a Google Norfolk and Western Roster search and had correct
diesel numbers in less than 60 seconds!</DIV>
