Hi, new to forum but old to O Gauge trains. Still own my childhood Marx freight set I received for Christmas in 1947.

I recently picked up a neglected Lionel-Winner passenger set. It’s engine is a 1010 box type locomotive. Over the years the head lamp has been broken off and lost. It’s a cup shaped dummy unit. I’m trying to locate a correct replacement . Anybody out there know where I may be able to find one? Any leads appreciated.

I'm unsure if George Tebolt is still in business, but he does list the "Dummy" headlight that you need.  You have to log onto his website, and search the Prewar Parts list.  It is listed as #158 "dummy" headlight--$5.00.  This is the same dummy headlight that is used on the Winner 1010, and the #158 Prewar Electric loco.  Good luck.

The repro 158 dummy head lights are a bit different from the original. The repo has a shallow draw than the original, meaning that the head lite of the original is deeper, little longer. Both will work. Found this out on rebuilding a couple of 158 locos.

I have some reproduction lites and if you can not find anything email me (email is listed in my profile). Doe this loco take one or two headlines?

Would not be able ship anything out as I m working in NYC doing a Train show.

Below is a picture of the dummy headlights that I use on my 158’s. The one on the left is new/old stock original and the one on the right is a repo. The new/old stock is nickel plated brass. The repro head light is magnetic so it is plated steel. Note that the draw (dept) of the original is deeper than the repro. This maybe because of the material used?
I have 3 old stock and two repros. If you would like, I could send you one of the old stack as I do not want to break up the pairs.
My email is listed, all I need is your address and email and I will send it to you no charge. All I ask is that you repay this deed to another member, then ask them to do the same. This forum is the best and if people could help others this would help bring this hobby to a new height🙂
