Hi!

I have build a luggage car, which I am finishing right now... but I'd like to
place a rear light on it, but back then, it was oil lamps, and one only (on some
trains?).
E.g. the 10014 has it

but on both sides.

I am not sure, whether the light should the on right side (which I feel is
right), or the left side (which seems to be logic - when driving in the right
side, the light should be in the opposite). Still, right seems right to me...
like here

But the next car has it on the left side?

Anyone knows about this?
