These marker lenses by MV were added to my NYC transfer caboose today to match the prototype photo supplied by friend Doug Bess, Jr. as seen on the prototype page of the website.
Many a PC caboose that I recall seeing had many variations of “markers”. Some had electronic marker lights, some had the flashing type of light you’d see in a construction zone, some simply had red rectangular paddles, while some simply carried red flags, either on both sides of the door, or stuck in the rear coupler. These on the prototype and on my model appear to be simple red lenses in brackets.

I have been a railfan since the age of 6, and a modeler since the age of fourteen. This is my first fully (well not quite) completed model railroad. I fell in love with trains early in life, ride them when I can, have volunteered on many steam fan trips and have ridden many more steam excursion trips, have belonged to several model rr clubs, and did a stint as a brakeman/conductor on a midwest regional railroad. My layout was published in Model Railroader magazine in 2016. I hope all of you enjoy the ride here on my sites! I now have the second blog/website up for my other hobby: wargaming with Flames Of War. I have been involved in wargaming off and on since my teens......
