PARTS 10 Headlight Lens Glazing for ATHEARN GENESIS Atlas Proto etc locomotives

Description: A Pine Valley Models Exclusive - since 2018. ***Many sets sold so far, thanks for your continued patronage!*** Up for bid are x10 HO scale sized clear headlight lens glazing parts made for replacement Athearn GENESIS (and some RTR**) and other brands like Atlas, Proto 2000, etc cab headlight lenses (multiple lots available). Made from special clear tubing, they are each rounded and buffed at the front, and tapered at the rear to fit in the smaller Athearn Genesis headlight holes (left empty if you remove the stock miniature bulbs to convert them to LEDs or otherwise). Will also fit some of the Atlas, Proto 2000, etc locomotives with smaller headlight holes. They are inserted from the outside, with the larger rounded end facing outwards. Be sure to remove existing Athearn incandescent bulbs from the holes, and clean out any leftover glue residue from holes (with a small drill bit, x-acto knife, etc) as it may be a tight fit. A small dab of white glue inside the headlight opening is advised to keep the lens in. Then, 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 as spares or for other models (note that these lenses are intended to replace the headlight bulbs, as the ditch lights usually already have clear lenses on Athearn models, but the headlights often don't). These are intended to fit the dual-sealed beam headlights in Athearn GENESIS models such as their SD70ACE/M-2, SD70, GP-units, and certain RTR models (like the SD50/60) that have slightly smaller headlight holes than their Blue-Box line (see my Blue Box replacement headlight lens listing for those). These also fit other manufacturer's models (some Atlas, Proto 2000, etc) depending on headlight sizing. They also work in certain older Blue-Box units such as the old GP35 that has smaller headlight openings. Note that due to headlight opening sizes differing from model to model and brand to brand, and the amount of leftover glue or paint in the openings, they are not guaranteed to fit all models, but slightly enlarging the hole with a #53 or 1.5mm drill bit, or twirling an x-acto knife in the headlight opening may assist with opening up any tight headlight openings and cleaning out some of the leftover glue inside. Or if too loose a fit, adding extra white glue in the hole may assist keeping the lens in place. 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. Also Note: this sale is only for the replacement headlight lenses. It is left up to the final user to decide how he/she wants to light the model. A good method is gluing a small styrene/plastic tube inside the shell behind the headlight housings, and slipping a 3mm LED in there to shine through the headlight openings. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----Shipping Etc Notes:----- Ships to Canada and continental US: Shipping 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 US/Canada Sales Taxes: Recently eBay has started charging and collecting taxes on purchases made by users in some US states and Canadian provinces. Unfortunately, sellers (even those in Canada selling to the US) have no say in this and their hands are tied: eBay charges and collects/remits the money to the states/provinces 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 by eBay.(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.
