Thanks to Mike and Peter for their responses.
About these Gyrolights, as Peter describes--these were the
door-mounted lights, correct? Did they strobe in a similar way to the
roof-mounted lights on the FP-7s? It's interesting that they would
be, as Mike says, removable and only mounted on whichever end of the
car was running forward. For modelling purposes, this would mean that
any RDC so equipped would effectively become single-ended (unless you
wanted to make it removable on the model--difficult).
When multiple RDCs were coupled together, did only the first car have
the light mounted? Would they have one light on the front door of the
forward unit and one on the rear of the last?
Finally, is there a casting of this Gyrolight available in HO scale?
Regards,
Andrew
