Hol.

Thanks for the fast reply.  Now I can check off another part of the project.  I 
might also add that I have found some ultra small pre-wired "Pico" LED's that 
slide right into the base of the Grandt Line O-Scale marker lamps(GL # 149).  
The "Pico" LED's are about the size of a newly sharpened pencil tip and while 
they don't cast a great deal of light like a headlight would I figure they 
should be perfect for this application.    More experimenting/testing tomorrow. 
 

The new "Pico" LED's are available through Evan Designs of Brookfield, CO.  ( 
http://www.modeltrainsoftware.com/ )  I will add that I have no connection to 
Evan Designs other than being a very satisfied return customer.  

Thanks,  Dave Sarther   Tucson, AZ

The Q used green to the sides and front.

Subject: [CBQ] Waycar Marker Lamps

  
  
    
                  
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.
