Good question!
The 463 did have a back up light (mounted more forward) but from what I can see did not have a water tap set up like that. Will the light be reinstalled? We'll just have to wait and see.

463's Tender: Lamps, Water Taps, and Lights

Unread postby Jim Poston » Thu Jan 17, 2013 10:04 am

Here are a couple of photos of the 463's tender while it was being painted in the Monte Vista shop. (Apologies for the paint-induced haze. :-) )

The first photo shows the fore-and-aft location of the tender light bracket; the second shows the two brackets, plus the conduit and wires for the light itself.

There is no water tap or 'ship-like' lamp on the 463's tender, and it's interesting to see the ladder on the engineer's side, while the 464's is just the opposite.

And like Rich says: 'We'll just have to wait and see."

Regards,
