| Post subject: | Headlight reflector availability? |
Greetings! We recently had a tender headlight from New York Central 0-6-0 #6627 donated to our museum, the Rochester & Genesee Valley Railroad Museum. The headlight is in very good condition, however, the reflector is broken in several pieces. We would like to find a replacement reflector if possible. I know there was rumors of some being made possibly by Strasburg. Here are the stats on the headlight: Dressel Headlight with side panels for the locomotive numbers Reflector: Diameter- 14.5" (+/o) Depth- 6" opening (for bulb) 2-1/4" Any help or leads would be appreciated. This is a great artifact even with a broken reflector, but it would be nice to find a new one. Thanks! Until later, Chris Hauf Rochester & Genesee Valley RR Museum Rochester & Genesee Valley Railroad Museum crhauf@frontiernet.net |

Go check out stainless steel bowls at your local restaurant supply company. I would be willing to bet that one will come close to your size requirements. Dave irondave@bellsouth.net |
