I think I did a good thing here. Recently, I've become interested in the paraphernalia surrounding Rail Roads. I've always liked the brakemen's lanterns hanging in the LHS (George's Trains...none for sale unfortunately...) So I went hunting on e-bay. Didn't take me long to find this one.

Has the original red glass globe and the burner still intact. Looks like it is in relatively good shape and hasn't been painted like some of the other ones I've come across. In my searches I also found some which I thought were really nice except when I read that the seller wanted $400 bucks for it and it had replica plastic lenses? Ahh...no.
Sorry pal you want 400 buckaroos, make sure it has the original glass lenses...INTACT!
Well...silly or not, it will look good in my layout area and add some decor to the space. I'm looking out for other bits and pieces, like yard limit signs...that kind of stuff.
