We have been hunting for caboose marker lights for WP668, our
1916 backyard caboose. Marker lights were portable status lights
which fit into permanent brackets on the side of the end of a caboose.
We found and bought two matching lights last week on eBay! They
need to have modern bulbs and wiring installed but are otherwise
complete. The lights were listed in the eBay category
“Collectibles > Transportation > Railroadiana, Trains > Hardware > Lanterns, Lamps”.
I have been at the
Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing here in Orlando,
Florida, since Wednesday. However, the lights arrived in the mail
yesterday so John sent me these pictures:
