So, if I understand, it would be correct to add operating (clear) lights on (at least) the front end of the locos, but it was unlikely they would be illuminated unless true extra (not normal scheduled train) or (red) as rear pusher. This would be true in 1978 through 1985 (under up ownership).
I assume then this would likely be more in use on a larger layout with regularly scheduled trains, rather than a small switching layout. Equip the locos with class lights and use them infrequently (only true extra)
On my small layout then, clear illuminated class lights would be correct, extinguished when working the industries and on (on front) when returning?
MP didn’t use many lights on the locos, so to add class lights & step lights would look really cool!
Thanks for your help and any clarification.
