That is most likely the best approach, Bill. I have two real CPR
Piper caboose markers (that are complete) which I fire up when I am
at the cottage. I use real coal oil or kerosene. They are not
really that bright unless you crank them up to where there is smoke
coming out of the chimneys and I have only seen that occasionly on
switch stands. You can see them well when looking dead on at the
lenses though. Most of the time we run our model pikes at day time
and when these are on during the day, they don't really appear to
be on.
My only problem with working markers of any sort is that they lock
in the direction of the model that they are placed on. If anyone
comes up with a way to remove them, put them on either end and
still work, I'm in.
