Re: [CBQ] E Unit Headlights

The lights actually moved in the assembly. Very strange to drive along beside one.

We're starting to install sound decoders into my brass E units, and at the same time, we need to install the headlights.  After looking at Bulletins 10 and 57, it appears that the E-5, E-7. and at least the 1949/50 orders of E-8's were delivered with a Mars light on the top and a single beam headlamp in the lower casing.  As far as I can tell, they weren't changed to the dual beams until sometime in the 50's/60's.  Is that correct?

I know that we have had discussions about the Mars lights, but I can't recall the details.  Were these two separate bulbs, side by side that alternated to create the "triple eight" pattern?  If so. both white bulbs?  In a vertical or horizontal position, as delivered?

Thanks for any clarification,
