 Post subject: Question for Lynn Moedinger
PostPosted: Mon May 17, 2004 4:22 pm 

Can you tell me what sizes Sunbeam locomotive headlights come in?

I am building a 1895 Rogers Mogul in 1 1/2" scale and would like to know what size to make.

I know that you do work with Sunbeam turbo- generators so I thought you may have an answer for me.

From the photo I have, it looks like about 14" or so.
Thanks.

According to the 1926 catalog, headlights were made in sizes from 12" to 18". Glass reflector headlights were made in sizes 12" and 14". The Sunbeam Airtight Headlight (Pattern 1618) was made in 18" diameter.

Pattern 4414 was 14" and had number boards parallel to the cylinder of the light. Pattern 4414-B had the number boards angled facing about 45 deg. to the front.

Pattern 1018 appears to be the same as 4414 except it is 18". 1018-B is like 4414-B in 18" size. 1018-D is like 1018 with the addition of a number board on the top facing front

Thank you and your associates for helping me get the headlight correct.
