Hard to tell by the pic, but it could be a re-number by previous owner. Is it a decal? Is there evidence of a previous number/discolored plastic, etc?

No I've had these since I was about 8 yeas old (35yrs ago) and have 4 locos each with the number 24 on them...I cant seem to find any evidence...maybe they are not TYCO???

I'm stumped

CatfordKen is definitely the man with many answers--and probably a pic to boot! One thing I learned this week that I never noticed or thought about before is that the way to tell a metal-boiler shifter from plastic (besides the obvious) is that the metals have two domes, the plastic have 3.
