I also added MV clear lenses with an LED to illuminate them. (There is also a two red LEDs behind the classification lights on either side of the number boards that illuminate when the train is running backward in the push mode of a push/pull arrangement. I don't believe this is what Amtrak does in real life, but on my railroad it also works as a commuter line.) Warning light, grab irons, and engineer and fireman have all been added. It is another example of a "kid-friendly" American Models locomotive that can serve as a foundation for extra details to make it a very realistic model.
