Re: Caboose Marker Lights

Salty I'm an old sailor as well and the rhyme used to be: "Green to green and red to red, perfect safety go ahead." Fine if you've vessels moving in any direction, but trains run on a fixed track. What about red at the front and green at the rear. If you see a green light then you know it's moving away from you and you're safe. Vice versa for red - jump out of the way! Just my five pence worth. Bye Mikey

Caboose Marker Lights
I just got a box of goodies from Ozark Minatures for a caboose and some flat cars that I am building. The marker lamps are not assembled and have six red lenses and two green lenses. Which way should the red lenses face in relation to the direction the caboose travels?? (I sure hope I don't start a fight here [:-) ) Salty
Re: Caboose Marker Lights
Ok, here's my two cents worth. I only know what I've seen in the past, and I'm far from up on the rules, why's, and how's. The models that I've noticed had the green lense forward, the rest red. Whoa! Before I sent this message I went and looked at another older O scale model that I have. It has the green lense outward. Let the lense games begin! Later, Trent
