Re: [CBQ] Color of the front marker lights on the doodlebugs

It would seem a lot of people call the front classification lights markers when they're not. I think it may have started because Cal-Scale calls them that by mistake. In answer to your second question. They are either all clear (white) to the front and side or all green to the front and side. There maybe some ones out there, but I've never seen any, and that's lights to the inside. John Trulson

Subject: [CBQ] Color of the front marker lights on the doodlebugs

 

Hi All:
I am am modeling a Doodlebug following CB&Q practice for my railroad HO (Mississippi River and Western) in the Ia & Ill area and was questioning what color was the front markers of the doodlebug when lighted. I assume they didn't have 2nd sections so was no need for the green markers but then who knows. Were all lens White or were they a mix of Green and white with the color depending on how they were turned such as was the case in way car markers or did they have internal optics to make them show green if needed.

Thanks,

Stephen Miller
