I'd like to attempt to cast a reproduction in aluminum. Perhaps a photo of the mounted half, exposing the interior layout of bulb sockets?

On the C&NW side, below the three discs, there's another, rectangular lamp labelled "Motion". Any idea of its purpose?

I'm in the middle of modelling a combined (C&NW + UP) cab signalling setup (for a digital rendition of UP844), but I'm having a lot of difficulty in finding photos or videos showing the signalling in action. The only thing I've found so far are photos that show the bottom indicator on the UP 4-aspect side lit up red, the other three just dark. It would be great if you could elaborate on what would be shown on the Combined indicator when it's operating on UP lines.Mike Renniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02274927996198279860noreply@blogger.com
