This Pyle National light fixture was original located in the tender vestibule, right above the coal gates, and as you can see, is terribly corroded.

The first question is, does anyone have any spares of this type of fixture?

Second question is, this fixture looks pretty easy to draw up in CAD, then have a pattern printed off and have new housings cast, so is there a need for this type of fixture out there?

Lastly, we still have the Bakelite socket, but some of the metal parts have broken off. Does anyone specialize in restoring old electrical parts?

Joe, a diesel locomotive ground light should work. It has the same base, only it's got 4 mounting holes.
