Sunbeam headlight
I am looking for a pair of 1.5" scale sunbeam headlights for one of my electric locomotives. Anyone know where to find them?

Re: Sunbeam headlight
Jack Bodenmann is now building new Sunbeam Golden Glo headlights. They are museum pieces and railroad jewelry. They are delivered R-T-R, not kits. I have his headlights on my seven Baldwin electrics and just purchased (within the past three months) one of his Sunbeam headlights with angled number boards for my Super Huskie.

Re: Sunbeam headlight
You will have to check with Jack, but a friend of mine just bought two of his Sunbeam Golden Glo headlights for his 1-1/2 inch scale Baldwin electric. This purchase was in the past three months. That's when I bought one of Jack's new Sunbeam angled number board headlight for my Super Huskie.
You know Jack's headlights sell out quickly, but are definitely worth the extra money .

Re: Sunbeam headlight
Mercer does sell them, but they are kits and NOT R-T-R. At least the last ones were kits. Maybe that's changed now.

Re: Sunbeam headlight
I thought I also read somewhere that Dave has stopped making a lot of his recent products. Hopefully that is incorrect!
Re: Sunbeam headlight
Thanks everyone. I ended up buying a set from Jack. Gary’s pictures of his locomotives in blog convinced me.
