I’m about to put the marker lamps on my new caboose. Im using Ozark’s Marker lamps Kit #1028.
With the kit for 2 lamps came the jewels, 8 of them. 2 Green, and 6 Red. I used the search engine here and couldn’t find an answer. Obviously red to the rear. With only one green, would it be to the side or the front? And/or did I jest get shorted two green Jewels? OR what should the correct colors be in which direction should they be pointing?
“All marker lamp lenses were
arranged to display a red light to
the rear. Lenses facing the sides
and front were either amber or
green, depending on the preference
of the particular railroad.”
Thanks Mic.
So with what I’v got to work with, I’ll use the green to the front, and red to the side and rear.
Yeah Ozark only gives you two green. Should be more green and only two red. Though I went with amber
