Alright gang.
At the EKR we have some old parafin lamps which used to be used for the level crossing gates.
I'm not sure what colours these lamps should be. I am pretty sure they should show a red aspect to road traffic, but i'm not sure if the lamp should be painted red or white. I've seen pictures of the lamps painted red, but these lamps are white.
So basically these are the combinations;
Red light, red lamp
Red light, white lamp
White light, red lamp
White light, white lamp
Any ideas which is the right combination?
I am asking because i would like to restore the lamps in my time away from the railway {homework}.
Thanks for any info, i'll let you know how the restoration goes
