One thing that needs to be considered when looking at the number styles and fonts toward the end of D&RGW narrow gauge operations is that seldom were the locomotives lettered with "standard stencils", most were lettered freehand. In some cases, the numbers were covered over when the black paint was shot, and later the car shop painter touched them in by hand.

If you want to see an odd "4", look at 473 after it got painted in ALA in the fall of 1968.....
