Yea, I just waded through about 20 Lionel extended vision and bay window cabooses, NIB, on the Bay, from about $40 to $110. . Only one mentioned a flashing red light. Most just said "illuminated interior."
One mentioned "rear globe lights" , but didn't say whether they were flashing, or just red plastic globes that filtered the interior white light.
Almost all of them showed the box ends, and none of those mentioned flashing lights.
Maybe Lionel found out that O gaugers don't like the unrealistic flashing red lights, and don't want to mention them?
Or,,,,,,,,,,,,just maybe the folks at Lionel realized that the REAL railroads did not use "flashing rear lights" on cabooses!
