Lamp for Attila
I spent this weekend fitting a light to the lamp casting I have for Attila, it's a self contained unit which push fits in the casting, there's a screw in the base that acts as a switch. The overall height of the lamp is 1 3/4 in so getting it made was quite fiddily.
Next job is to paint it, probably black.

Surely if you wanted a tail lamp you could find something less ornate to put the lamp in, I can see the point of something scale on the loco, but surely for a tail lamp on carriages you just need something functional and can take a few knocks
"What the hell is that?"
"It's a model icebreaker sir."
"It's a bit big isn't it?"
"It's a full scale model sir....."

You could always "dress up" a bicycle rear lamp??laalratty:46529 wrote:Surely if you wanted a tail lamp you could find something less ornate to put the lamp in, I can see the point of something scale on the loco, but surely for a tail lamp on carriages you just need something functional and can take a few knocks
