This is my vote. If 4106548 is always yellow, without exception, hard-code
the yellow color in the .DAT. (but see below) A possibly more sensible
alternative is to do parts 30086 and 30087 each as color 16, and do a
shortcut-and-official-part-file 4106548 (1) as color 14.

Bad, no, can't. 3-digit numbers are increasingly rare, so this should only be
done as an absolute, final resort.

There is some precedent here, and it helps shoot down my earlier suggestion
(see above). For example, the Train Caternary Holder (2880) is always black
(as far as I have seen), but is color 16 in the LDraw parts library.

| Everyone, We are facing a major problem in numbering parts in LDraw. For quite some time I have been trying to follow a 3 rule plan for numbering pieces: 1. Full accuracy when possible 2. Use official TLG numbers if we have them 3. Use temporary (...) (25 years ago, 26-Feb-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
