Athearn Amtrak P42 front number board
Author: ATSF91

I am working on changing the number on an Athearn Amtrak P42. I think it's called the phase 5 scheme While taking off the front number board, I removed some of the black square gasket of the number board. The Micro Scale kit doesn't include these so I was wondering if anyone knows if decals exist to fix this and if not what is a good way to get it back on. Thanks

Check out Microscale 87-1343 --- it's an HO set of window gaskets of various size for EMD diesels, however you might find one that works or you can adapt for your P42 number board...

I have painted a few of them and used decals I cut myself. I used black stripes and used a very shap Xacto blade to cut smaller strips. I used the same process for window gaskets. It gives them a more finished look. Micro scale decals don't have it included as far as I know.
