Description: ITEM IS HO SCALE: FOR SALE IS ONE APPROXIMATELY 5/32" (4MM) IN DIAMETER HEADLIGHT JEWEL WITH FLAT BACK (POSSIBLEY PART # 8239) FOR MANTUA TYCO AND OTHER BRANDS AND IS A RARE FACTORY ORIGINAL NEW PART. I THINK THE MANTUA PART NUMBER FOR THIS LENS, HEAD LIGHT JEWEL MIGHT BE 8239. EVER SEE A LOCO SITTING UNPOWERED AND THE HEADLIGHT LOOKS LIKE IT IS LIT ? WELL THAT IS MOST LIKELY A HEADLIGHT JEWEL CAUSING THAT ILLUSION. FOR DECADES PAST MODELERS WOULD USE A JEWEL GLUED INTO THE HEADLIGHT TO SIMULATE A LIT POWERED HEADLIGHT WHEN THERE WAS ACTUALLY NO BULB FOR THE HEADLIGHT. THE JEWEL IS SHINY WITH A MIRRORED BACKING LIKE A MIRROR AND IT REFLECTED AMBIENT LIGHT SO IT WOULD SIMULATE THE APPEARANCE OF A LIT BULB IN THE HEADLIGHT. THIS IS A NEW FACTORY ORIGINAL REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT PART FOR HO SCALE MANTUA AND TYCO (AND CAN BE USED ON OTHER BRANDS OF) STEAM LOCOMOTIVES AND COMES IN LABELED PARTS BAG PLEASE SEE PICS. PICS SHOW FRONT VIEW AND VIEWS SHOWING MEASURED DIAMETER. PRESENTLY JAN. 2019, AT THIS TIME THIS LISTING WAS CREATED NO ONE PRODUCES TYCO, MANTUA OR MANTUA CLASSICS TRAINS OR TRAIN PARTS. MODEL POWER/MRC DIVESTED THEMSELVES OF THIS BRAND OF TRAINS. NEW SPARE PARTS FOR THIS BRAND WILL GET HARDER TO FIND AND PURCHASE. SO PASS UP ON THIS CHANCE TO PURCHASE AND YOU MAY REGRET NOT BUYING NOW WHEN THE PARTS SKY ROCKET IN COST AND BECOME HARDER TO FIND IN NEW CONDITION. VERIFY THIS IS THE PART AND PART NUMBER NEEDED FOR YOUR TRAIN BEFORE YOU MAKE PURCHASE. ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE ASK VIA EBAY MESSAGES. THANK YOU FOR VIEWING MY ITEMS FOR SALE ON EBAY.
