I was running trains today. When I started up my Bigboy the display was “G014”. This is ongoing nuisance with random locomotives losing their first digit, sometimes to a character, other times to just a block. I’m pretty sure I read something about this on the Forum. I was wondering if there was ever a fix for this that I might have missed.

Nope. It has never been fixed.
Odd, I've never seen this issue.
Seems like I’ve heard of this issue, but can’t think if there’s a documented reason

From JonZ at the April 2014 Legacy Meeting...
16. How come the first digit in the engine number displayed on the screen when
scrolling becomes garbled? Please see the photo below. I fix it with the LSU
and almost instantly the first digit becomes scrambled again. What is the fix for
this? (T4TT)
JZ – I hate to admit it, but this has eluded us for years. Although with
Version 1.52 I have not seen this happen very often. Clearing the engine
record fixes the road number. (Mike Reagan indicated that the cause of
this issue has been found very recently and should be fixed in a future
release.)

Thanks guys, I thought I might have missed something.
No big deal, it is an easy fix.
FWIW, I had an odd issue crop up with the CAB2 a couple of times. One of the engine numbers would be unusable, trying to use that engine # entry simply would not work. I was able to correct it by using the LSU and clearing out the engine entry, nothing I did on the CAB2 would make it usable. Nobody could explain that at the time either.
I’ve had that happen before, it’s been quite a while since I saw that though. The thing that I run into is when using train link the touch screen glitches so either I go to a SS Diner or Vision Reefer and still has the locomotive icons or when I exit the car icons stay up for the locomotive
