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.

Rik

Sorry, I can't help with this one.

There is one on thingiverse, I will see if I can find it, if not I will send you the files.

Here it is....

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.

Thanks for the tip

In case you are still looking for a lamp, and in case this Ffestiniog version is of use:
Let me know if you want the .stl file

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)

Rik

As promised a few photos of the modified lamp.

I like that lamp.

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