Okay, I ordered 2 - 2mm clear Marker LED's from Lionel awhile back. Just recently I was looking to see what resistor I wanted to add to the LED's to determine the brightness. Low and behold the clear LED's are green when voltage is applied. My question is, Is this normal?

Also, Does anyone know if the markers on the real 2101 had a green bulb or was it clear? The pictures I have of the engine has clear lenses on the marker lights. But I don't know what color the lamps were. If they were green I good to go. If not I need to figure out something else.
I have just place an order to Precision Scale for some pilot parts and a new headlight. We'll have to see how that works out. Stay tuned.
Thanks in advance.

Chris,

I believe they were white, but don't know for sure. On mine, I made them white (with grain-of-wheat bulbs). The new Lionel version and the MTH version both have green.
