I pulled out my big boy 37990 for a little exercise on the layout, and noticed that I'm missing one of the number boards that sit at the front at the top and are illuminated. The illuminated number is 4013. Somehow over the past six months, it has disappeared, probably in a previous vacuum bag at the dump. Any idea where I could get a replacement? The parts Page doesn't show a spare part # for it to no surprise, I gather one has to order the entire new body. I will also send an email to M, but a reply will likely take months. Cheers!

I found mine (at least the housing...) back in what used to be the foam liner that has turned all mushy The number itself (decal) however I could not recover, so will need to create one on decal paper or something....
