I need some help locating a picture or information on the type of interior lighting that was used in a bay window caboose. If you can tell me what SP used in theirs it would be even better.

Depends on the era/builder ? .. late cabeese likely would be a truck mounted 120/140 watt generator 12 volt system .

OK, lets say it has a generator. This means incandescent or florescent fixtures.

The only photograph I have shows a screw-in incandescent fixture ( naked bulb ) above the seat on either side of the cab , this is in addition to markers and platform lights near the end doors and frog eyes .
.

So no shield? Just a vanilla porcelain mounting (with perhaps a pull chain)?

i send you something ...

Ah HA!

OK I see the light fixture (I think I see a second). It appears to have been pulled down from the ceiling, and looks like an old Bayonet type, which were commonly 12v (especial automotive). The second fixture appears to be a can light in the ceiling. The light switch poses an interesting question... can I model that as a child and hook it to a light object?

More things I need to try. More tasks to add to my list. More time I need to wait until I can release my caboose....

*sigh*

I was told only lights above the seats , not sure what the recessed thing is , I did not ask and it was not mentioned in discussions ,, in the pic that's on it's side ,, the 2 switches above the icebox are for the marker and platform lights and in a similar position at both ends.
