Okay, the conductor cab looks pretty odd compared to a R142A conductor cab. Damn this is looking good, but I'm not in a rush to chase it down 'cause of today's GO.

I really do love the look of the strips.

I agree. It's a nice use of the existing tech. Using the indicator lights for local or express service and spreading out the stops to every other light makes a lot of sense.
