Hi Everyone,
Does anyone have a green jewel marker light suitable for a 2046 Lionel steamer. The part for the entire metal assembly is 675-14ML but I don't need the housing, only a jewel. Commercial sources want 25 cents for the part and $5.50 for mailing!
I'm hoping for a less costly solution.
Thanks,
X2000

I'll send you one for free. Email me your address.
Also be aware that there are two different marker light jewels out there. Only the one with the copper on the back is the right size. The other is aftermarket and larger.

Thanks for info. I did not know that The ones I have do have the backing. I bought a bunch in different colors many years ago. I now realize they would last me 10 life times especially since I pretty much only buy command now.
For some reason if you can't find him one, I have them as well.

My e-mail is andijoe@comporium.net. Thanks you very much. Sorry if this is not the best way to communicate but I couldn't figure out how to find your e-mail on the site.

John thanks. I did find them. Already in an envelope ready for address.
Joe S. I'll send you an email now.
Thanks for all of the replies and offers to furnish the priceless little gems. Special thanks to Jeff. My 2046 will no longer be a cyclops at least in the marker light department.

What a timely thread. I also need one green jewel for a 1654. It had them both but when I refreshed the engine took it apart and cleaned it with soap and water, I lost one! Nice little engine I got a York.
email in my profile and I am willing to pay of course. There is no such thing as a free lunch.

PennsyDave, did you ever find your green jewels? If not shoot me an email and I'll hook you up.
I just ordered a few red ones for a 1615 from Jeff Kane - but I had a few other items I needed as well. I was considering a drop of the thick Gorilla Super Glue in the cup that holds the jewel and then put the jewel in. Are there any other recommendations for installation?

Thanks Dick. I had thought about the "permanent" nature of the super glue approach. I will definitely give the glue stick a try. The markers should be in Monday or Tuesday.
I use thick CA glue applied with a tooth pick to the cup. No problems. The original Lionel copper back jewels are difficult to find. Jeff has the aftermarket ones.
