I think that Utah Pacific sold working class lights at one time, but I don't know if they're still around. The loco shown below had working class lights, although they were illuminated by the headlight bulb, so the colour was the same as the headlight. The ones that were on the loco when I got it, used, in 1957 or '58, were one-piece turnings of what appeared to be Lucite - they had a shaft that extended 1/4"-or-so into the smokebox, and the lamp body was represented by black enamel. They would probably look good-enough even today. The ones shown, drilled-out Cal-Scale markers, are lit by fibre optics, again using light from the headlight, which is inside the smokebox.
