Hello everyone, I'm new to the group, finally got my Lionel 520 working, but somewhere in its life it lost one of the four "lights" on the corners of its roof. Has this happened to anyone else? I'm thinking about searching out a broken shell as a donor and transplanting the part I need onto mine. Has anyone else tried this? Has anyone out there got a broken shell they're willing to part with? Let me know, thanks. JB

Here's a photo, it's a pretty simple fix if I can find the part. The base of it is square, I think if I cut the donor off neatly It should just be a matter of carefully filing of the "nub" still on the shell and then cementing on the transplant. I like the idea of making them functional, I'd need some white LED's and a circuit, and drill out the "lights" to fit the LED's, but that could look really cool on my layout! JB
