Hello.I would like to model a Chessie System SD-35 as it appeared under the C+O subsidary Toledo Ore Railroad Company (TORCO). I found some pictures of the unites 7800, 7801, and 7802 on the internet. All Of the locomotives have 6 lights above the cab. I know the locomotives were remote control equiped. My question is what did each of these lights signify, what was the color arrangement, and did they flash, or were they solid. Thank you very much for any help.
On remote control locomotives, the lights flash to show receipt of commands from the ground controller’s transmitter or locomotive movements. They are usually a mixture of red, yellow, and green strobes, but different railroads may have used different combinations.
