MTH Premiere Norfolk Western J 611 Shell Number Board Removal

They are friction fit. A wooden toothpick with the point cut off will be your friend here. Push from the inside out. A little on each side at a time until you get movement. Be forewarned, do this facing down on a towel or similar. Once they get to the end, they tend to shoot out and go flying into another dimension. Never to be seen by mankind again……..

Pat - AWESOME!  Thanks.  Now for another related question - one of the 611's physical numbers fell out (or it never had it and I didn't notice until a few years ago).  Any idea if anyone has a replacement "611" or how to create one?

I assume I can find some plastic sheet and print reverse black and just leave the "611" clear and try...any ideas what font or type of clear sheet to use that would match the original?  I am sure I'm the only one who knows is missing and its just bugging me.

Which side are you missing? …..I have some spare J boiler shells that might have some……if you’re not sure which side is which, post up a picture of your boiler shell.

Looks like they stick on from the outside and I don’t need to remove the window.  I made two replacements with my printer using some velum that my wife had handy.   Thanks for the offer.
