Hi guy's,
we are still looking for the final missing light for our vanderbuilt tender on 6069. This is the last missing light on the exterior of the locomotive so it would be great to track one down. Does anyone have a spare or any leads on one that might available?

These "filling hole" lights were the same lights used to illuminate the gauges in the cab.

I have the part number "TL 13" and also " TLQN-111"

Here are some photos.

The top of the lamp looks to be correct, but the base is not the correct base.

Peter, even if you find one chances are you will likely have to pay a premium price for it. They are collectors items and I know you have a very limited budget.

If you REALLY want to complete the Tender, you could always repurpose one of the gauge lights from the cab.

If you can 3D print one rather than go through the expense of pattern making for a one off it will probably be more affordable. If you want to be able to produce more down the line, by all means set up to cast.
