I would like to add a herald to the rear of my MTH Union Pacific passenger train.
Perhaps lighted if there is such a thing.
Does anyone know a source?
Here is the rear end car - might look pretty odd covering the rear door though LOL!

so if you add a rear balcony the herald is located there.
this was made for a specific passenger car.
Also, check out the custom work on the rear end of a UP observation car by following this link:

BTW -- What is the MTH product number for your car?

This is from MTH (RailKing) 30-6701 4 car set.
If you want a low cost option (although not lighted) getting a UP herald hat pin, cutting off the pin part and gluing the herald on the car with silicone seal will work.
Internet Search: Tomar Industries, drumheads.
RadioRoy: I like the idea of the hat pin! I will look for one.
Update: I just ordered 2 UP "hat pins" and will post a picture when (hopefully) installed.
I printed a drumhead/train name on cardstock (matte photo paper), cut it out and attached it to the car with double sided tape. This works for any rear car.

Hilarious! 👍👍
RadioRoy: I liked your idea so much that I ordered a couple of UP hat pins and decided on this one:
Looking good! Thanks for posting the picture. 
Where did you find the hat pin? Hobby shop?
Ebay
