Could anyone tell be why the numbers on my cars and locomotives are not white, but dark shades? Picture attached.

Thanks,

Galen

The alpha channel is white where the number shape is determined. Your main layer needs to be whatever color you want the number to be. Normally you don't have to worry about the shape because only the white part of the alpha will be seen.

Buzz, this is through most of my models...I don't know why it is doing it? Is there a file which can add? Here is another view.

Decals appear dark because dynamic lighting is turned off. It must be turned on in the settings for the decals to appear normally.
