Thanks Ken for posting THIS ONE! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ben, you mean the little silver things on the upper corners of the caboose?
Those are marker lights that were to make it visible in bad weather, notice some lights "jewels" in this case, are red, others are green! The Red ones were to face the rear, and the green ones to face out the side......B&O practice!

Thanks for pointing that out Ken!
I wasn't sure what Ben was referring too now, I do......
Yes, those are reflectors.....They were put into operations in the Chessie era, and were for safety reasons on the railroad....

| Well there goes my money. To me this is one of the most original all time cabooses ever built (behind the PRR n5c of course). Almost bought one of these in brass at a show for $150 one time that's how bad I wanted one. A large local club has a featured B&O line on their layout and they have a few brass wagon tops running around. Every time I'd see one I'd go into fits of rage because they had so many lol. My dilemma is red or blue? Thinking red because I have a lot of B&O steamers and older diesel power. But I could easily make cases for the blue & Chessie liveries......better be safe and get one of each lol.

Chris,
I'm in the same boat as you! I too as well need red ones, BUT I can also use blue ones, and then to add to the fustration, I need atleast one in Chessie B&O! So yeah............there goes my money! LOL
Sadly, I can use 2 red ones, 2 blue ones and just to be safe one in Chessie and I'll call it good!
Then to think at this point, if I get one, in red, I'll be happy, as I have other B&O cabeese, that are really close "stand ins" so.....I myself, got 2 B&O EM-1's, one brass, one of the Spectrum units so........
