If you are referring to the Classification Lights, i.e. "Class Lights", on the front of locomotives, the color green would NOT generally be correct for a freight locomotive. In the real world of railroading, the color green in the Class Lights, indicated that a Second Section of that train is following. Thus, white Class Lights, which indicate an Extra Train" (not scheduled), would be more correct for the NKP (NOT 'NPR') Berkshire.
I made the fiber optic strands from one 9-18v green led from Evans designs. I would like to add it but not sure which is the correct way. To the circuit board or piggyback the headlight wiring? I also want to change the warm dim factory old light to a new cool white brighter led which I know is not prototypicaly correct, rather my own preference so it will illuminate what's in front of it better. As always thanks for any input. I also would like to do the same with marker lights for the tender which I believe are red? Also how to add them
I knew I was going to be corrected on my Nickel Plate Road abbreviaion. I couldnt remember, i should have looked it up first. That happened last year too.
I' am not replacing the headlight to green. The 2 marker lights in the front are green from the factory, I just want to light them up.
Please excuse my lack of wisdom here, I'm working on it. Knowledge is wisdom and that' is why I come here, to learn so I can help others.
