Chris,

I love the photo of 58 and 71. In case nobody realized it, the rear end markers on 71 were jury-rigged from Switch Stand Marker Lamps. Switchstand lamps were the only lamps made by Adlake or Handlan-Buck that I know of with a bottom mounting hole and the flared bottom with the square mounting bracket cast in the center of it.

This cobbled together solution would work great for the C&S as they used the Red/Green globe type lamps. The D&RGW could never have done this since they had changed to Amber markers instead of the red.
