RE: Headlamp photo Looking at the photo of the lamp, I couldn't help notice something in the background; is that maroon paint on the floor boards? This photo was taken in the interior of the plow, correct? Thank you. Lucien O. REPLY: Good eye, Lucien. This image was taken where the cab floor is visible in the background, and there is some worn reddish paint remaining. Typically the floors might have been a sort of tile red, usually they did not use the exterior paint color (maroon) for interior floors. More detective work needed. Bob Kutella

If they are Par 56 (which is size of bulb), there are 3 listed on ebay. They are GE 2oow 30v flood for trains @ $29,95 ea new. look up par 56 30. Or probably get from Westinghouse or GE. Good to see Milw 118-C pulling passinger train, & all work you guys do.
