I painted my lamp today, I haven't any red rod or glazing material for the front lens, so red paint will have to suffice for now.

I'm sorry to say but I think that some thing is wrong with your tail light, it looks like a goods train tail light, in that it can be hooked over the rear coupling of a train.
IIRC most passenger train rear lamps could (should) only be fitted on to the lamp brackets at the rear of the train and did not have the provision for hanging them from the coupling hook like a goods train one had.
Lot of reasons why the goods train would need to have the "cover" of the rear light when the brake van is removed for shunting and some of the train is still on the main line, lamp on the back wagon (hook).
OzzyO.
PS. not using my main puter so I'm a bit hissed off about this as this one is a bit of Vister (Crap) and it takes all day to do any thing.
