exterior lamps - Steve - 12-15-2009
Does anyone know of a manufacturer that makes non-powered (dummy) lamps for the exterior of structures?
In the style of those in this pic:

All I have managed to find are some brass lampshades.......I looked at Tichy, Grandtline, Walthers, and others without luck :cry:
Thanks

Steve, Tichy offers such parts (look under "Structure Parts - Lamp Reflectors"), as does, I believe, Grandt Line (Check under "HO Scale", then click on "Miscellaneous" - the product number is 5062 - Lamp Reflectors, although no picture is shown).

I looked at Scale Structures Ltd. and they don't have that style of lamp. There is a version of that style in the Atlas Depot Kit, the shade measures a scale 15".
How many do you need, I have a few left over from my kitbashes.

Pete.....Thank you for the kind offer
...I will try the Grandt line reflectors and see how they work out. I will be needing a bunch of them.The absolute best people can be found right here on The Gauge!

Thanks Jim....I see the #8170 has a different looking bracket than the Grandt line.....it would be nice to have some variation on the structures.

No problem, I believe in the first law of Model Railroading....."Never throw anything away".........besides, I don't think I have a "bunch".
