Working ditch lights for a P2K GP9 II?

Hi everybody:

I just acquired a P2K GP9 II in Algoma Central colours and I would like to add working ditch lights. Does anyone have any suggestions for a supplier of castings that would be appropriate. I don’t need prewired ditch lights, I can do that part myself. The molded ditch lights that came with the model are pretty nondescript. I can work with brass but I would prefer plastic.

Any photo examples would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Dave

I checked out Shapeways. I must be doing something wrong because my search for “HO scale ditch lights” did not come up with any HO scale ditch lights. I got hits on five N scale lights and one O scale light, and a bunch of terrain models which won’t likely fit on the front of my locomotive[swg][(-D]. I also tried the search under several variations of ‘ditch light’ and got the same results. I tried ‘lights’ in general and got something like 16,000 hits which I am obviously not prepared to wade through. Can you suggest another phrase to use as a search?

Thanks

Dave

EDIT: Never mind. I found some Details West ditch lights on eBay which can be cored to allow for illumination. I don’t give a hoot as to whether or not they are prototypical for the Algoma Central Railroad. Its my railroad…you know the rest.
