American style switch lanterns to fit LGB turnouts

Has anybody found a USA style switch lantern that can be lighted and mount to the stock LGB switch drive/lantern unit? When I switched to USA style trains, my LGB turnout lanterns look a tad out of place being the standard German style light units. They work fine and are automaticly lighted each night, just need a more American style lantern top on them. Mike

Hey Mike why don’t you try to adapt an Aristo Craft lantern to fit on your LGB switch?

What about one of the Ozark switch lanterns?

Ozark is what I am gonna try to adapt to the LGB lantern set up. The Aristo one isnt lighted and being made of UV resistant plastic, hard to glue. Right now I am in the middle of rebuilding my line. Mike
