I'd be surprised if both of the tail lights on your Lone Star are red - on mine one is red and one is green and only the red one is illuminated. I have taken my Lone Star car apart and there is only an LED behind the red lens. I assume that this was intended to represent the lighting when the car is at the end of a consist.
Although it does not show it particularly clearly, see the below photo of the stock tail light assembly on mine - but ignore all the other changes from stock such as the marker lights which I added to mine as well as other interior/exterior details:

Hi Hancock52

Great photo!

You are correct - I stand corrected. One tail light is red and the other one is green. The red one is lighted along with the drum below, as you say. Now that you mention it, I do remember reading somewhere that only the red one lights to represent in real life when the car is at the end of a consist.

Thank you for clearing this up so quickly!
