One of the Razorback Railroad, Traction and Scrapple Company's (recent corporate renaming) restoration efforts is a prewar 258 in need of illumination. What's the part number for this?
Thanks!

For some of us who might like to help, other non-p/n info (dimensions, etc.) might be useful to post. My own accumulation of parts often came in cardboard boxes, pill bottles, zip-loc bags, tackle boxes, etc.. Way too much work to pair each item to a p/n. But these sort of requests are my favorite way of reducing the accumulation...given enough info.
Alternatively, someone might post a picture of their 258 headlight socket...loose or installed...to help with the search. just a thought.
FWIW...

As near as I can tell, the socket has normal E-10 screw socket dimensions, with a couple of arms on the base to fit into the boiler front casting.
I COULD be mistaken, though.

Mitch, this might be what you’re looking for. It’s at Trainz.

Looks right! Thanks!

I think KD has come up with the answer. This is a 257-5 offered by Trainz:
Also in nickel:
Note the tabs on the bottom. They would fold out into those slots inside the boiler front and secure the assembly.
Thanks, all!
