I am in need of a pair of number boards for a Spectrum DD40AX. The original owner lost them! I am in the middle of a DC/DCC conversion and started the cosmetics and found the number boards missing. Any body out there got a junker they can rob. I'll be glad to pay for them. I also need a complete set of handrails for a DD40 Athearn. No luck finding either, online yet. Sounds like I got the DD40 blues, don't it?
I'm in the same boat. Need railing, can't find it. Athearn says they don't have. Bachmann says they don't have! If I find any I'll give you the head up. Stephen
Stephen, I'll keep searching and hollow at you if I find anything. Thanks for reply.
make them from thin white styrene sheet stock, Microscale number board decals have clear numbers on a black background, so when applied over white stock, the numbers will be visible, and the thin styrene will still light up from the bulb behind them.

Excellent idea! I will give it a try too. Thanks, Stephen

Smokey Valley Handrail Stanchions - you'll need several EMD sets to get enough for the DD40AX
