Turbo,

I dug through every last piece in my library. The best I can tell you, knowing the Reading used three or four styles, going off of Wisswesser blueprints, even he left off cross sections pertaining to this subject, your best bet especially in "N" scale is to duplicate the front headlight of your I-10. I know years back someone made a white metal casting to do away with the HO scale Bacmann I-10 tender light, for the life of me can't remember who did it, and I don't have one to measure from.

Casey OFFLINE Conductor Posts: 209 Thank you received: 57	Generally I use calscale sunbeam headlight castings for both front and rear lights. I know the N scale I-10 tender was not a real I-10 tender, so if I was going to do it from scratch I would try to remake a front headlight for the tender. Unfortunately I don't know of any N scale detail suppliers, I would bet they are around in the depths of the internet.
