You can see two of the lenses on the right end of the 4250 pix. They appear 
less obvious than the ones on West Penn cars.

I saw an HO gauge caboose marker advertised that might fit nicely, but, 
simple switch lantern red/green would be the wrong combination. I need to 
inquire about the advertised marker's colors and  arrangement.
