Kudos Chris on those RS3's. I like the weathering you did. They look like they been through hell. Genuine workhorses!

Chris - maybe I missed it. What do you use for & how do you install the front corner marker lamps?

Locomotives look great! Abrams yard had a 500# series for yard service (maybe locals too). RS3s = RDG to me.

I got your suggested markers from Bowser in the mail today. Far finer castings than I remember. Should do well. Thanks for the info.
