      I am building an O-Scale model of a CB&Q NE-4 waycar.  I have found some 
very nice O-Scale Grandt Line marker lamps and lamp holders for the model.  I 
would like to get the correct orientation for the colored lenses of the marker 
lamps at the rear of the waycar.  I believe that the Q's practice was to have a 
red lens protecting the rear of the train.   Can anyone confirm the color of 
the lenses to the sides and front?  I have seen a color photo of a waycar in a 
museum with a marker lamp at the rear that seems to be green to the sides.  I 
think some other railroads used yellow to indicate the sides of their cabooses. 
  So I would like to receive some confirmation of the Q's practice.  Thanks in 
advance for all help.
