I am wondering if anyone out there has a good idea on how to mount above pilot (on the walkway) ditchlights on an HO Atlas C30-7 (or really any locomotive that does not come with them, for that matter). Not dummy ditchlights, mind you, but operating ones. I have installed working ditchlights under the walkway using fiber optics running back to a bulb in the shell, but I do not see how this is easily accomplished with the thin profile of above pilot ditchlights. The units that come from the factory with them seem to use a chunk of clear plastic perfectly formed for the purpose, but I do not have the means to make one for my setup.
Any ideas or know-how in this field are greatly appreciated!
