Steam Tender Marker Lights
Posted by fwdguy on Wednesday, November 2, 2005 3:28 PM
What color are the steam tender marker lights?

Does each type of locomotive differ from one another?

Would like to add some jewels to the back of my tenders.

I was thinking red would be right but not sure?

Thanks,

Mark

Red to the rear works for everybody. Yellow to the sides and front work for Santa Fe, N&W, Pennsy and (I think) D&RGW. Everybody else showed green to the sides and front. Note that this applies to tenders only. The class lights (generally refered to by MRRs incorrectly as markers) are a diferent story and show either white(for extra unscheduled trains) or green (for a section of a scheduled train w/ another section following) from all openings of the fixture.
