CENTRALFAN1976,
I have a question for you. Back in your posting this past June, you have photos of several engines that have classification lights with silver painted housings on them. The chop nose GP(?) in the first photo, the GP30 that has them front and rear, and the Chessie GP(?). Are those classification housings/lights something that came from whatever mfg produced the engines, or are the lights something that you added and if so, where did you obtain them? I have a project for down the road and these are exactly what I am looking for. Thanks for your help.
Nick

Nick,

the ones with the silver rimmed class lights are on a Lionel GP30 (NYC) and Lionel SD40 (Chessie), and are indeed stock. For stuff like this, I would (and have) used a silver paint marker from Testor's.

I started on a inexpensive piece to try first and it was easy.

Good luck!
