Walthers....then Keil-line.....now Scale City Designs

Thanks! Never thought to look there.
If one were to recast these in a clear plastic so as to light them, what would your recommendation for a resin be?

That's why I wrote now Scale City Designs,

Miapoxy(Freemans) makes a clear resin that I've never had a good excuse to test. Recasting for your personal use is generally considered acceptable albeit technically not.

Aware of that. If the miniature lamps were available in a clear plastic, I'd order them..

Call Scale City and ask them to cast them in clear resin? Berkshire Valley also had some lamps, but last I looked still solid castings, but I think available pre-painted.

I'll contact Scale City. I doubt, however, that,as I suspect, their metal casting process would be compatible with resin casting. Still, interesting idea.

Pretty sure that they do some resin casting work; spin cast molds will work with resin, but whether they will or not do it is something else entirely.
