| Al You are probably correct. The R4 and R5 were typically modern head lighted and Precision Scale may very well have done them for a C&S NG brass project. Maybe the timing of their appearance on the market vs the A-N engine would be a clue. Charlie Vlk On Jun 14, 2020, at 2:30 PM, Albert Kamm <ajkamm3@gmail.com> wrote:
Charlie – After years of searching, I purchased an un-built All-Nation Prairie at the 2019 O Scale March Meet here in Chicago. Looking at the illustrations and the parts bags with the kit, there’s no sign of a Cuckoo clock headlight. The illustrations of the stock kit show the typical All-Nation die cast headlight and that’s what’s in the detail parts bag. I’ll be substituting a lost wax headlight of the type used on the R-4a Prairies after the Cuckoo clocks were replaced. Pure speculation on my part, but I wonder if Precision Scale originally made the Cuckoo clock headlight for imported brass C&S narrow gauge engines. Al Kamm From: Charlie Vlk

Subject: Re: [CBQ] O gauge Cuckoo Clock head light Most of those who could definitively answer the question are no longer with us (maybe
Pat Egan knows??) but I guess the part might have been made as part of the Cary-boilered CB&Q Prairie project from All Nations Line.

Ray, Nolan is correct. Precision PCS-7504 is a Burlington / C&S Cuckoo clock headlight. Attached is a copy of their catalog page showing it. It is on the right side, fourth row down. The price is $8.00. I just ordered some parts from them. If they have them in stock, they ship very quickly. Out of stock items are backordered. I placed my order via their email address: precisionscaleco@gmail.com. They are under new ownership and have relocated to Pasco, WA. <page133image28829440.jpeg>
