Who are Marker Light Models? I Picked up a caboose by them and they appear to be blue box clones. Box says "Marker Light Models 2 Timothly Ln. Mokena, IL 60448". The bottom of the car says "Made By Marker Light Models". Could someone give me some information on Marker Light Models? Were they Atheran produced cars? Clones of Athearn? I cannot find any information on this company online anywhere.

Most likely it was something like Bev-Bel. They bought athearn undec models, did their own paint and detail work and then resold them.
