I first must clarify that I didn't "fix" the problem I but I used the default in the DCSV file, through elimination,figuring that it would repair both the number board numbers and the numbers on the side of the cab,but only fixed the cab side numbers.The number board still don't have the numbers--any help would be greatly appreciated as I don't want to go messing around in the file without knowing what might be missing.
thank you.

I don't know if Buzz is still following your issue up and in any way my stealing his thunder....but your problem is that Rick has the digits bin file looking for BM_1700 in which he stated was Diego Gallina's gp9 that his repaints were based on. In fact that bin file is from Arnold (ATSF3814) Andressen's repaint of the gp9 as per the link below. This should fix your problem but the number boards will be black numbers whereas the proto is white on black. I edited the bin file to look in it's own texture folder, modified the textures and created my own.
It's Rick's repaint and it is his call what has to be done.

I realized shortly after uploading these repaints that the B&M GP9 that these CP locos are based upon was actually Arnold's and not Diego's. My mistake, as I had recently been repainting Diego's B&M RS3s, I must have mentally missed that. I will upload a version 2.0 this weekend that will clarify this in the read-me as well as make it clear that the B&M Geeps must be downloaded. Sorry for the confusion! Still trying to master the simulator's numbering system and number textures, its one thing that I've never fully grasped
