Keith,

I think those "odd" classification lights on #74 look pretty much right for #74. In fact, they look just like #75's except the shop removed the old oil vent. Those lights don't look like anybody else's lights.


The markers that PSC makes in 1/4" are much like what you see on your #60. They used that style on both the rear and class lights, and they look fine. I used them front and rear on my #75, and also used that style on the rear of Rotary #09200.

The classification lights on the OMI B-4-E's and B-3-C's look impossibly small, but they are quite similar to prototype photos, and I have not changed any of mine.

Some of the bracket hangers on the rear had an attachment much like a miniature inverted pitchfork, but those are usually only on one side. #74 has one on it's right side. It had not occurred to me that these would be great for hanging a lantern, but I'll bet you are right. #71 should also have one like that on the right side. Mine does. And so does my #6. They could have hung a lantern up there to help with attaching air hoses or lining up couplers.

OMI included that detail on some of the engines, and I was able to keep a spare for #74.
