Well, I could sort of make do and go with the Lima, don’t know if it is a PRR standard, but I’m after a Reading Company style. The Lima is 16” while the one I have my eye on from PSC is the 18” Pyle National. Unfortunately, it appears to only come with a visor which mans I would have to file the visor off – maybe not a big deal for some, but I have never tried so all I can say is, I don’t know, seems doable. Also the PSC casting needs to be drilled out for the LED and one has to come up with a lens. That all seems like a lot of unnecessary work if a ready-made one is available for $6.50 from Lionel.
Did your example come with the shelf? the shelf doesn't show in the catalog.

Oh no, no no,...this is where the fun is!!..go down to your local harbor freight tool store and find a doming set, they’re pretty inexpensive, and worth their weight in gold for making reflectors, lenses are also easy as pie!...find some clear acrylic, measure the ID of the headlight bucket, and punch a bunch out,...making your own parts is half the fun, ....😉
