jbw, many thanks for this detailed explanation.
I have looked for samples where marker/classification lights were used however these are lights with a use since 1920 or later. All pictures of the time after 1907 (the mentioned engine was built in that year) did not have classification lights - and so I must do my detailing without the loved red back lights.
You are right, these red lights rear of engines are a very common rule at German engines, modern like steam, and I was sure that same things should exist also at other railroads including in USA. Ok, all is said - white lights for my model and no more!
Thanks again!
