Well I'm glad you have a sense of humor because we are so used to Frank's avitar, which has been around a few years. Yours litterally put me in stitches. Like a graphiti artist nailed poor ole Frank.
Frank53Looks like my avatar has a long lost cousin stuck in the 70's . . .

Heh. Actually, it's a running gag from an art site I'm on. See, my trademark is aviator specs and a handlebar moustache, so I tend to add the same to various other avatars ranging from Richard M. Nixon to an Egg Mc Muffin (don't ask).

Frank, you just posted a cross link and crashed my machine.

LMAO!!!!!
lionelsoniCould you be thinking of the 1122-123 lanterns used on the early 1122s? They were made for only one year. Unlike the 1122-177 used on the later, 1122(E) turnouts, the 1122-123 had an external colored ring around the lens.

That sounds right to me! I thought it was a later mod, but I'm certainly willing to be proven wrong. :)
So, any suggestions for sources?
Hi, all!
If memory serves, the revolving lanterns on later Lionel 1122 switches had colored targets on them. Can anyone point me to a source for these? All the 1122 lanterns I see online these days are the plain black repros.
Thanks!
