You could put a fred on your caboose

I mean we got the EOT lantern

But this one relays air brake info too

Caboose does it too
Although it doesn’t do it well
Just put a spare DE2 on the end of the consist

It does it fine but cabooses we’re kinda meant to you know…..have somebody in there🫤

The pressure needles are wrong

Are they tho?

Did you check?

I’ve haven’t really observed them being wrong
At least compared to the steam locos gauges

The reason i would like a FRED to be implemented would be to have a device that is able to be mounted on the back of train car couplers that is more realistic than just leaving a marker lamp on the back platform.

And usually cabeese have red marker lights to show they’re on the end of a train.
The one in DV missing them the EOT lantern would be the next option

Plus you can hang them off the coupler instead of the back platform

Exactly

I use Knuckle Couplers in DV. i was mainly thinking to use the fred for night shunting, but now that i think of it, yard jobs and locals also use cabooses,
