I have a new (to me) Atlas caboose. No box, no paperwork. Only one warning light is working. And when I slide the switch on the bottom, neither lights. My question is: is this an on/off switch, or a front/rear selector switch? Either way, I know have a bulb needing replacement.

There is no bulb on the other end, it only flashes on one end.
Thanks for your answer, but why is there is a red lens on both ends, if only 1 flashes?

Image would help.

I have 6 Master standard cupola/extended vision cabooses and they all flash on one end. The other lens is decorative.
There is an ON/OFF switch underneath for the flashing red light. The interior lighting is always on.

Because a caboose is a bi directional car and either end could face the rear. A business decision was made to only illuminate one end of the model. Doesnt eliminate the need for the detail, just the model's functionality of it.
Thanks, all, for your answers.
