Look for
Sunshine Enterprises H-101 "Light cluster asmbly, SD 7/9 CB&Q UP BN, 2ea."
The one on my workbench says $3.50. I don't know if they are still making them
or even in existence.

Subject: [CBQ] Modeling Mars Lights for
SD-7/9's
I have been upgrading the lights on my various HO scale diesel
locomotives, such as adding headlights in the nose of the "low nose" units
such as the GP-20/30/35/40's and SD-40/45's using Detail Associates
headlights. However, for the SD-7's and SD-9s, I am trying to determine
the best way to model the Mars light and red warning light mounted with a
bracket on the front (and back for most of these units) above the headlights
and sticking up above the top of the hood.
One option
appears to be the Custom Finishing part #256, but it costs $5.95 per
headlight. This strikes me as rather expensive at $12 per locomotive for
2 small detail parts (not including any jewel lenses), particularly if one has
multiple SD-7/9's. Any suggestions as to an alternative method of
modeling and mounting these lights and brackets?
Thanks in
advance for any suggestions.
