Did someone have to glue these into the locomotive roof light cavities and maybe these pieces of glass were sold by Marklin? Or did someone do this on their own and does this lower the value of the locomotive? I thought I would run this by the community to see if anyone else had seen anything like this. Thanks for letting me know your thoughts.

Sometimes I believe flags were used as well. Usually the colours meant as follows: No classification lights: Normal scheduled train White: Extra, unscheduled train Green: Normally scheduled train, but another section follows Red: Rear of train, usually placed on Caboose. regards Peter

The SEH 800 (blue) and the SEF 800 (green) always had lights on both sides. The inscription of the SEH was never changed and also shown on the SEF. Also the last one delivered in the 1970s as a kit, had that inscription. Regards Markus
