Anybody knows of any DLC which has these as child objects?

Or ordinary kerosene lanterns with 3 amber or red lenses, as perhaps used on switches?

When not, anybody willing to make a pair of left and right handed caboose lanterns, the steam/early Diesel era end of train markers?

The closet ones I know of are these on the caboose-X200 on the G-TraX SNRySouth.

No, I don't think this will work as it seems these lanterns are nodes to the shape file, and cannot be amputated.

I have wondered this too. Those marker lights on the SN Rwy caboose are very nice, and really add to the "feel" of a scene. I wish that they could be added on various cabooses!

My apologies I just looked in the bin file and saw child objects. Apparently the child object is only the light emitter.

Buzz,

Would you be able to add them to other cabooses? I know nothing about modeling....

Not at this time however I can do repaints of this caboose. Just starting to explore modeling.

We need separate markers/lanterns for caboose, locomotives running light and passenger cars at the end of the train.

After 15 years of Trains Simulator, Railworks in its many guises, nobody have ever thought of the proper legal end-of-train designation and created a pair of small assets to be used as child objects?
