Ditch light covers for HO GE ES44AC

My first post here so please be gentle!

I have some missing ditch light covers on the loco described above.

I have tried looking for spares but with no luck.

It is a Tower 55 model but I feel sure that any similar covers from Athearn, Walthers or Kato etc would work fine but can’t find any.

Does anybody have any suggestions about where I could find some?

Thanks in advance,

Bob

Have you contacted Tower 55. By the way what on earth are ditch covers? ;)

I think you will struggle to find a supplier here in the UK, plenty in the states, Internettrains.com being one,or Trainorders.com , good luck.

Thankyou ladies and/or gents. You have given me some more leads to investigate so I will get on it and let you know how I progress.

As an aside, Tower 55 were bought out by Overland and I have tried contacting them as well.

Thanks again,

Bob
