As information, when the "Friends" performed a restoration on Lindsey Ashby's caboose RGS No, 0400 in 2018, they added a replica box on the cupola. The access hole was long ago plugged, but the location was still visible. Lindsey didn't want another hole cut into the roof, so the friends designed the box for outside access for the lamp. Because of this, the lamp sits a little low in the box, but still looks good. It is visible in the photo below from one of the Friends photo freights in the fall of 2018.
