We recommend that you choose an easy-to-
remember ID# for your locomotives. Some
possibilities are part of the locomotive road
number, your age, or any two-digit number
that is not used by another locomotive. If
you like, write the number on a small piece
of tape and put this on the bottom of the
frame to aid in remembering.
