Hey everybody,

Currently i am building Reading Company Blueliners using the coach kits from BCW. My only issue is I cannot seem to source out proper Headlight details. I know Walthers had some various types available a long while back(mostly P.R.R. MP-54 types), but i do not know of any current possible sources that might have anything usable.Can anyone lead me in a proper direction??.

Note: I am aware of the models available from IHP. But the price is outta my range at this time.All i need are the headlight details and i'll be done.

I have a pair of those old walthers kits. I might be able to make a small casting for you. They should work, all you'd have to do us add side-by-side headlights.

That said, IHP just announced cheapr $104 Green-car kits, which you may not have been aware of. This is better than the ~$500 RTR pairs being sold previously. I also encourage pursuing they need a particular number of orders to give them the green-light.
