Is the American Flier Wide Gauge Headlight hood same as a McCoy Headlight hood?
Do not need one just curious about a replacement hood.
I m sure that other folks on the forum may need this item as they pop off easily.
Seen many 4-4-4 selling on eBay missing these.
I was searching on eBay and saw this American Flier Wide Gauge Headlight hood (Repro) with a read or green side marker plastic insert/tape.
It looks the same as a McCoy head light on my 4-4-4 engine.

I do not know if fits the McCoy locos, but I do have both the nickel or brass hoods available w/ the green and red lens material, as part of our MEW parts line. Harry 
Yes Ron, the headlight housing for the McCoy "1965" (4-4-4) and the McCoy "E-2" (4-4-4-4) is identical to the Flyer wide gauge housing that Hennings sells. I have used the hood from Hennings as replacement on McCoy locos.

Flyer in front, McCoy in rear.
The original has the tab on the back. On my particular McCoy, the tab interfered with the fit, but it would not be difficult to remove. I do not know if the ones Harry sells have the tab, couldn't tell in his photo.
Thank you all, I m sure that this information will help folks that need to replace missing head lights for McCoy. The engine I have does not have the rear tab on the head ligh.
Where else could you get this information? This forum is the best!
Both our nickel & brass covers have the rear tab. Harry
