Correct sized jewels needed?
Author: BEAR8216

Does anyone know what size the red and green jewels are for the old Athearn SP frog eye marker lamps are? Also who makes them and possibly a part number. Thanks in advance.

I'd use MV lenses over jewels myself.


TCS - i take the part to the package and match it up

For MV lenses, figure what drill bit matched the eye of the frog - hopefully you have a set of small drill bits. The Walthers catalogue listing of MV lenses details the drill size for each lens.

Normally MV lens numbers correspond to thousanths of an inch. If you have calipers measure the diameter of the marker.

Thanks for all the answers. I will wait till I have them in my hand to measure them.
