HK would have been better served to put black numbers in the set, because the
early 5" striped units had black numbers on a white rect on the back. (which
changed to a more sensible white #s on black)
but I reiterate, to throw out the numbers from that set because they're too
small, and the wrong font. Use this set...

It's a mystery because the used SD40s and SD40-2s
were all in the 5400 series.

Hi.
Just picked up a set of decals for the above indicated type of CP Rail
diesels. Included in the set are several road numbers in red, rather than
white: 5517, 5598, 5603, 5710, 5726, 5872, 5949 (various SD40-2s) and 3015
(GP38AC). I know that Canadian Pacific acquired some SD40-2s from KCS -
they were in white and had the road numbers in red - but I didn't know if
they got that many from KCS or what the deal was. And in the research I've
done on these numbers, I haven't been able to find any with road numbers in
red. Anyone know what's up with this?
Thanks!
Jack.
