Dear Listers: There has been quite a bit of discussion on whether the Proto 2k E8's for Eire came with a Mars light or a lower light on the front door. Earlier today, (11/11) James Flynn wrote the response shown below indicating that they did not come with this arrangement. I would like to confirm James' comments. My Erie P2k E8's did not come with these. I believe that some of the confusion is that the P2k E8's in DL&W came with Mars lights (which I believe is prototypically correct) as I have both #'s of these also. I hope this clears up some of the confusion.

I have 14 of 'em just like the Erieand none of mine ever came out of the boxes with a Mars light. Life-Like, at the time of production offered all kinds of options, depending on the road name a modeler wanted, including various steam generatorconfigurations on the roof. As far as I know, the Erie models are PRETTY DANG CLOSE !! Not positive that the dark green couldn't have ben a touch lighter though. <snip> ------------------------------------------------------------ Visit the erielack photopage at http://el-list.railfan.net ------------------------------
