Does anyone know of a source for Lionel Fastrack Switch Lanterns? My son seems to have "Misplaced" most of them and i'm finally done laying track and wiring. I spoke with John from East Coast Train Parts and he says they are non existent, lionel's parts site has a back order date of 12/31/2014???
Thanks

WOW, I'm going to keep a close eye on mine! They're so easy to loose, I'm surprised they are so hard to buy!
Paulie,
I thought I was the only one that had the gremlins take them. Well, I cleaned out Nicholas Smith in PA (they are close enough for a visit) and found more at Charles Ro. I wanted spares to feed the gremlins. I think Ro charged me $2.75@ + shipping, but they had them about 6 weeks ago. They are almost as rare as the #990 sets.
Yes, I have had some on order for over a year and gave up!
Sounds like a product that someone needs to clone.

Someday, in the far distant future, archeologists are going to puzzled by the huge piles of FasTrack switch lanterns that they uncover. These will probably be found alongside similar collections of TV remote controls, small screwdrivers and car keys.
They will probably determine that they were religious offerings to our gods. 
Britrailer, to me?
No to another member, but I have a few of these lanterns in my parts drawer - how many do you need?
Around 12 if you have. Thank would be awesome
I've got 9.
If you're interested, email me your zip we can figure out shipping.
two of mine have gone missing as well. Luckily that's all out of my 12 switches.
They very easily fall off. That's about the only flaw I've experienced with Fastrack switches since their introduction.

They are.
I'm missing one as well. Fortunately it's for a switch located behind a hill so you don't really notice it. I covered over the lamp with some black electrical tape.

Nicole,
I don't know if that will ever happen. But I can sure tell you to look in the vacuum cleaner.

These lanterns sound like a good project for someone with a 3D printer.
I'm missing one too. I suspect a certain feline who used to spend a lot of time on the Spencerville RR before I installed a pair of folding doors to the train room.
Maybe I should invest in a 3D printer and sell to the masses.
Not so fast, there are four lenses in each lantern.
Found this on a post from 2012:

I bought a few from someone else on e-bay about six months ago (over priced).
They have been stolen by the same person that goes around stealing one sock from peoples laundry.Nick
