Always Improvising
A few questions here.
1.
I know what anticlimbers are for, but I don't think I have ever seen one pointed out on an actual loco. Where are these placed?
2.
Am I not correct that both ends of a locomotive tend to have plows? Why is it that I see some models with only one on the cab end? Is this a traditional practice on real rail lines?
3.
I've seen diesels with a yellow/orange rotating light on top of the cab or hood. Thus far I have always believed these were used to mark locos that saw a lot of switching duty. What is the real purpose of these lights?
4.
What exactly are winterization hatches for?
