Lighting on dummy unit | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

I am putting an MTH electrification kit in a GP40 dummy unit. I was wondering what other members do as far as what to light. It has number boards and markers plus headlight sockets. There are also cab figures but I assume they and the headlights aren't needed for a dummy. Any advice? The kit comes with 2 pair of grain of wheat bulbs and a constant voltage board @6v that I could add LEDs to.

Hi John, I never did this so I can't be of much help to you. But, do you have the MTH part number for that kit?

Marker lights on a diesel?

I know they use to have Clasification Lights to represt extra, first section, or the last section of a train

Marker lights bring up the end of a train

The kit is a RK 50-1025. It has 2 pickup rollers and mounting hardware along with the lighting for 4 wheel trucks.

For my taste I don't light the dummy interior and also I remove the cab figures. Jim R.
