PARTS 10 Headlight Lens Glazing replacements for Athearn Atlas etc locomotives

Description

A
Pine Valley Models
Exclusive – since 2017.
***Dozens of sets sold, thanks for your continued patronage!***
Up for bid are
x10 HO scale sized clear headlight lens glazing tubes
made for replacement cab headlight lenses (multiple lots may be available). Made from special clear tubing, they are each rounded and buffed at both ends to allow clear light transmission.
They are inserted from the outside, with the larger rounded end facing outwards. Lens tube may be slightly undersized for hole, so simply dab a bit of white glue inside the headlight opening, insert headlight, let dry and presto!
Included are 10 clear headlight lenses, intended to be enough to do 2 models (4 lenses each for headlights) with two extras or for other models.
These are intended to fit
Athearn “Blue-Box”
models such as their GP38-2, SD40-2, GP7/9, etc, with the dual beam headlights, but may also fit other manufacturer’s models (Atlas, Proto 2000, etc) depending on headlight sizing. Note that due to headlight opening sizes differing from model to model and brand to brand, they are not guaranteed to fit all models, but slightly enlarging the hole with a drill bit or x-acto knife may assist with a tight fit, or adding glue in the hole may assist with a loose fit. (NOTE: Some Atlas, Proto, and
Athearn Genesis
models
(like the SD70Ace/M-2 and SD75M/I)
and
certain RTR units
(like the SD50/60) have smaller/tighter headlight holes,
please see my listing for Athearn Genesis replacement lenses for those
as they fit the smaller holes better. A few older Blue-Box locos such as the old GP35 also have smaller lens openings that the Genesis set would fit better in
).
Note: Due to manufacturing differences, lenses may slightly differ in size, fit and appearance from one to another, but we strive for consistency in making them.

—–Shipping Etc Notes:—–
Ships to Canada and continental US:
S
hipping
rates shown in listing reflect the costs of postage, mailers,
protective padding material, and the time it takes to securely package
and mail shipments. Smaller items are shipped in special mailers, larger
ones are wrapped securely and sent in padded bubble mailers.
Unfortunately, Canada Post + USPS cross-border shipping costs are higher
than we’d like, but one can save on shipping with
combined shipping available on multiple purchases
–
additional
items only incur a few extra cents to help pay for extra packing, so
the more you order at once, the more it cuts down on repeat shipping
charges over time.
***
May ship to other places on a case-by-case basis, upon request and review
***
Slow Shipping Sometimes:
Lately
Canada Post, USPS and/or customs seem to be taking longer than usual
with some shipments to the US and Canada. Usually things arrive in 2
weeks’ time at most US addresses from Ontario (Canada) where purchases
are mailed from, but sometimes things can take an additional week or so
to arrive depending on postal volume, customs, or if a package is going
to the west coast or southern states (longer travel times). For most
Canadian addresses, things tend to show up in 1-2 weeks, although it’s
often on the longer side for west coast purchases. I try to ship out all
packages on the same day or the day after when possible, or for the
coming Monday if it’s a weekend or late Friday purchase. If a package
doesn’t show up at the end of three weeks, let me know – chances are it
might be running late.
*Note, Please contact me first and avoid
opening an Item Not Arrived case, as eBay has recently changed its
policies to be unfavorable to sellers in disputes.
Ebay Charging State Taxes:
Recently
eBay has started charging an internet tax on purchases made by users in
some states. Unfortunately, sellers have no say in this and their hands
are tied: eBay charges and collects/remits the money to the states
themselves, independent of the sellers. Sellers don’t receive any of the
taxes charged by eBay in their own accounts (the money goes straight to
eBay themselves when it’s paid), and sellers cannot adjust those
amounts charged.
(Payment
by Paypal, buyer must make payment within 3 days, examine all photos
thoroughly, no refunds unless not as described in listing, item damaged,
etc).
If
you see something you need more of, need something in particular like a
custom lighting setup, or if you’re having trouble checking out with
combining shipping
(use the *request total* feature, but sometimes eBay won’t let you and just asks for payment) feel free to send me a message.
Custom-tailored work (bigger/smaller, longer/shorter lenses) may be possible on a case-by-case basis.
