I recently came in to possession of a early 1947 2025 loco. The left hand side classification lamp had been broken off in the past. I do not want to replace the whole boiler front as it would look very out of place based on the patina of the rest of the shell. I'd like know if the individual classification lights (not just the jewel insert) are still available. I remember seeing them in somebody's parts list many years ago. I've tried searching Google with no luck.
Thank you,
Rich

Repro lights can be had. I got some from Jeff at TrainTender.

Go to Jeff's website

and enter part #675-14ML and there is a picture of them.
You are going to have to do some cutting and epoxy the part in place. You may even have to repaint the boiler front and replace the decal if you repaint. I know you want to keep the patina so you can repaint the boiler front and spray a flat clear coat on the boiler front to match or just clear coat the entire engine to get it to match.
