Adam -
one solution to the marker light problem (an admitted compromise for CB&Q)
is the former Utah Pacific (TOMAR, last I heard) AdLake castings. These are
not perfect, since one has to drill and mounted into the corner post at a 90
degree angle rather thab the 45 degree mount typical for the Q. . . the
old Utah castings came with "Grain of Rice" incandescent bulbs which required
2 or more AAA batteries built into/ concealed in the bunk-benches; nowadays,
they can be lit with three-head "white" LEDs and hearing aid batteries.
You still can't "hang" the marker off the corner of the carbody, but a 1.5v
white LED stuffed into a UP/Tomar casting (sanding the LED dome to "leak
light" in all directions_) and wired into a series-wired pair of "button"
hearing aid batteries - will keep your way-car-markers cheerfully lit for 2-3
weeks . . .
