Happy Switcher Saturday all. I am pinch-hitting for our friend Rich Murnane, aka "Super-Dad," who is getting a well-deserved late sleep!
Here was last week's topic if you missed it:

First we need the creed:
We are a bunch of humble, switcher-loving, do-gooders who love all things switcher-related. So, if you have a switcher, have a picture of a switcher or smell like a switcher, post your switcher pictures, here! 
Also, I've grown fond of my disclosure, although it probably annoys people! Before my other friend Dave/Steamer points out my peculiarity (yes, one of many!), that I have more than one of the number #228's, I need to again state that I do not own more than 0.026666666666667% of the production run of Lionel’s 15,000 #228’s. The first step in dealing with a problem is to admit it! 
I actually am posting news of my last prewar Lionel #227 purchased further down. Hmm, let's not get into how many #227's I have rescued over the years. 
So...this Sunday, July 14th marks the 60th Anniversary of the end of the illustrious Pennsylvania Railroad steam program. Under contract to Union Transportation of New Egypt, NJ, little PRR B6sb #5244 ran her last revenue job on July 14th and was retired the following day in Philadelphia.
In honor of this important anniversary, I finally got around to officially completing my last prewar #227 "Basket case," by installing the marker lights. Thank you Harry Henning and his staff for getting its innards up and running.
Here is a "before" photo as I got the tools, marker lights and "patient" together:
Just prior to mixing the 2-part JB Kwik epoxy... my metal snips for snipping the excess (unneeded) post of the marker light, a small metal file for sanding the bottom of the marker light and my wooden coffee stirrer pieces for mixing the JB Kwik.
You can't have enough JB Kwik or JB Weld. The top-most package seen here was purchased back in 2004, making it 15 years old! The tubes in this pack are a bit leaky at this point, there is about 35% left, but this epoxy still works flawlessly. I think I have gotten my money's worth out of that package, for all the marker light fixes I've done over the years.
Engineer's side, done! 
Fireman's side also done!
Full frontal...excuse the dog hairs on the smoke box. I didn't see them until I took the picture! 
Don't worry, this is the same problem the Pennsylvania Railroad had! 
When dry, if I need to, I'll dab a little black flat paint on the base of the marker light to cover the dried gray-colored epoxy. Also, I just need to install the red and amber "jewels."
So, lets see those switchers!
