So for the past 2 days, I've been trying to change the numbers on the GS-4. I've downloaded Railfan587's Dynamic Numbering mod, I followed the instructions, but the numbers under the cab don't appear, along with 4449 still appearing where they numbers would normally be on the engine. Any solutions? Is there something I'm missing? Take your time if your not sure what the problem might be.

Have you thought about contacting Railfan587 since he's the one that made the mod?

I would but it appears he hasn't been on the forum since 2017, so I'm not sure if hes still available to message.

Well, that's not right. I'm right here! Basically, this mod is just the black Warbaby GS-4 with the SP 4449 Daylight textures slapped on and the "4449" numbers painted out. Because of this, it uses the Warbaby GEOPCDX files for the locomotive and the tenders. I released this mod 4 years ago tomorrow, and I didn't realize that I hadn't been specific about which GEOPCDX files to use. That's a mistake on my part. Sorry about that. I hope this helps, and welcome to RWA.

P.S. The flying numberboards are above the smokebox on the 4449 model, and the numberboards are above the center of the boiler on the Warbaby model. From my understanding, the boards were above the smokebox before WWII and were moved to the center of the boiler following the War. The boards were moved back above the smokebox when the 4449 was restored to operation for the American Freedom Train in 1975, and again in 2002. The 4449 carried her post-war Daylight colors during the 80s-90s with the numberboards in the center of the boiler and "Southern Pacific" lettering on the tender. Following 2003, she was painted back into her Daylight colors. This time, the pre-war scheme was chosen with the boards above the smokebox and "Southern Pacific Lines" lettering on the tender. The boards have been above the smokebox ever since.

Oh, and by the way, be on the lookout for this GS-4 update. viewtopic.php?f=31&t=21058 It looks like it will include its own dynamically numbered Daylight too (see the screenshot on page 3). I'm really looking forward to its release.
