Brass Mars headlight to be casted | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Larry MullenOGR Forum Member

I bought a brass Mars light from a gentleman some time ago and he has since passed away. Supposedly he took measurements from a Mars light on a NKP engine and had one/several made. I have one left and am planning to put it on a UP 844. If I wanted to have additional made, where would I go to do this? Anyone ever do this or have any recommendations? Here is the one that I had attached to my Lionel 779.

Thanks.

I suggest the Allumilite casting kit. You can find it at Hobby Town USA.

Why not buy the one Lionel has as an extra headlight in the Nickle Plate 765.

Was it from Harmon Monk? He borrowed a USH casting from me to make the mold. Jay C can help you get more made.
