RE: (erielack) P2k RS-2

Chris and all,

First off, the former Erie RS2s and RS3s were delivered with the single headlight as on the P2K model (see http://www.rr-fallenflags.org/el/loco/erie954alb.jpg)

That being said, the Erie modified theirs fairly early on to the "safer" and brighter twin-sealed beam (i.e., if one of the beams burned out, one would still work)

I believe most of the detail part manufacturers (Cal-Scale, Details West, Details Associates, etc.) make twin-sealed beam castings that can "plug in" to the existing hole (maybe with a little reaming to get it in there), and then you can touch up the yellow paint.

Listers:

I'm a digest member so if someone has already pointed this out, pls. 
refrain from flaming me.

Did anyone notice that (at least as I can tell from Paul T.'s photo) the

headlight is incorrect?  I believe the Erie and EL RS-2s had the twin 
horizontal headlights and not the large single one on the EL version and

the earlier released Erie version.

Any thoughts on how to rectify without a lot of headaches?

Regards,

Chris Thurner
