Title: porthole lenses
Post by: sgasales on February 16, 2015, 11:14:36 PM
I am interested in obtaining a couple sets of clear plastic porthole lenses for a Bachmann F7A&B set.  Please let me know how to get them.

Not available as a seperate item in the parts listing that I could find. I looks like you have to buy a complete shell to get the porthole glass.

As an alternative, these might work: http://www.athearn.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=ATH11016 (http://www.athearn.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=ATH11016)

I've used them in some older Bachmann and Model Power locos.

I also save clear spue material from various kits to make my own headlight lenses and porthole glass from.

Walthers used to make a diesel "dress up" kit with those lenses.
