STL file for loco lamp?

Post by ge_rik » Mon Jul 18, 2022 4:12 pm

Has anyone stumbled across (or created) a STL or OBJ file for a loco lamp in 15mm or 16mm scale?
I can draw my own but, before doing so, I just wondered if anyone had one.

Thanks Steve
I searched for loco lamp, train lamp, railway loco lamp but not railway lamp. It did throw up one for 4mm scale but it wouldn't have scaled up successfully.

I have found it much better to use a Google search on the site directly, so for example....

site:thingiverse.com "lamp 16mm"

This way it searches for both words rather then either word, which is what the thingiverse site does, the google search is just far easier and accurate.

In case you are still looking for a lamp, and in case this Ffestiniog version is of use:

Thanks Trevor. I've modified the one which Steve pointed me towards and used that, but it isn't as stylish as this version.
I redrew the other one to make it hollow for a 5mm bi-colour LED which I've now wired up to the front and rear of my GVT loco.
(I'll nip out and take a photo or two later)

I like that lamp.

I have hollowed out mine as well to take an LED.
