However, no one (to the best of my knowledge) makes the earlier "semi-fabricated" markers that appeared on a couple of the early Erie RS3s. Also, note that the Cal-Scale markers seem to be the retrofit version that the Erie added to the early ones (which had "steam locomotive-like" markers that stuck out the sides, not up - wonder how many crewmembers' heads hit these? ;)   The as-delivered RS3s that came from Alco with these had similar, but someone less "substantial" versions of them.

Depends on what you call standard! Check these out:

It looks like they grafted on those "corner" handrails!
