Finally – REAL looking Street Lamps!

Nice stuff.

Those look like the WEHONEST guy's stuff.

Can you share sellers name.  Cant seem to find them on the bay

Just type in  - O SCALE STREET LIGHTS

Yes, but which of the 466 hits are the ones that you bought?

it does and i’ve used his lights very successfully in the past. but the only wehonest seller i now see has an LA in the name as if he’s now in the States (or it’s someone else entirely). there is someone in china called evermodel_es who has some similar things but not as much variety. 

Nice looking, but maybe a little too modern for my layout.  Wonder if they have other styles?  I’ll need to do some research.

I took Walthers brass HO street lights and replaced the Pole with longer brass tubing. I thought the light head was way to large for HO but good for O scale. They came in one or double street lights and were cheap. It's not a great shot of the light but it's on the right of the drug store. Don

Scale rail, you’re right about HO (or other scale) products that can be suitable for O.  I used HO street lights from Cornerstone Built Ups for station platform lights (photo).  I think they’re just the right size for that application.

Cornerstone makes a wide variety of HO lighting products, including wall lights that are suitable for O exterior building lights.  My friend, Dick B, taught me to look to other scales when you can’t find what you want in O.  Good advice.

I got creative with the Lionel Gooseneck lights.  With carefully taking them apart, I was able to shorten the metal pipe along with detailing.  I use them all over the layout.  I kept the lights in the station at full height.

Here's another idea. Banggood sells 10 HO LED street lights for $6.46. Simply cut the middle section off and add brass or plastic tubing that is longer than the HO version. Same as I did with the old Walthers brass street lights. I would airbrush them a flat dark green. You could also do the same with their gooseneck lamps. Don

My thoughts as well.  A bit modern for the early-mid 1950s.

Regardless, they are good looking.  Nice acquisition, SIRT.

Hard to believe they have been around 60 years now and no one made an O model of them until now.

It's about time!

I just bought some. I think 10 will do the trick for a while. My town's not that big. They're constructed similarly to the ones I've been making myself, but I don't feel the necessity to make everything myself.
