Looking for a new headlight | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

JdevleerjrOGR Forum Member

I am looking for a better headlight for my legacy ten wheeler. I have the whole locomotive apart for a repaint and re-letter. Since my RR is set in the mid 1950's on a shortline I want a more modern looking headlight then what the C&O ten wheeler has. Lionel has tried to make it look more old fashion, like an oil lit light with a small decorative top to the light. I have thought of cutting it off but they also have number boards on the side that I am removing.

Where do you suggest I look? I will be going to P&D later in the week to see what they have but a nice bolt in piece from Lionel would be much easier if they have it.

To the best of my knowledge, P & D Hobby Shop carries parts from Precision Scale. If they don't have it in stock, they can just order the headlight you want from PSC.
