First of all, HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Seccondly, Does anyone know of anywhere i could buy 16mm healamps?

I use the chuffed 2 bits GWR lamps for the earl, quite expensive but look nice, although these have a bracket on the side so only really suitable for W&L stock. I think they do others though.

Chuffed 2 Bits do them: http://www.chuffed2bits.com/page31.html

PPS sells the C2B ones, and GRS sell lamps too. If you want non-working lamps, Brandbright is your best bet.

Hi, DJB have some new white metal ones at the following link

Of course, any of the cast non-working ones can be drilled out from the back to accept an LED, if you don't mind fixed lamps.

I don't know about anybody else, but I find the batteries in the Chuffed 2 Bits lamps last next to no time - anybody else have the same problem?

Yep, mine have almost run out and I've hardly used them.

I've got 1 head and 1 tail L&B style lamp from C2B, and have used them several times over two years and they are still on the same battery they were supplied with.

Both of mine have run out, only used them once or twice for short periods.

roundhouse get there supply from C2B i think. I have two sets of head and tail and although they dont last long, think its great the way they can always be on the head and tail of a train, even if not switched on. most of us run through the day anyway!

Best lamps money can buy c2b supplied by Finescale Engineering where quality is excellence. No better place to shop go to Chuffed to Bits ! and you will be!

Give it a rest
