A Scaleway Signals cast headlamp, suitable for a large 7 1/4 inch narrow gauge or 10 1/4 inch gauge locomotive (it actually came in fitted to one of our Estate Range Staffords, so something of that size).

Aluminium casting with glass lens, it's extremely grubby and has, at some time in the past, been converted to battery operation in a cack-handed way. Internally there's a plastic battery carrier that takes a pair of AAA batteries, powering a single high intensity LED. The body casting has been drilled to take a switch that would have been much better mounted underneath - the switch itself has an intermittent fault so needs replacing anyway, we'd re-site it at the same time.

Fitted with what appears to be a stainless steel handle, which whilst not decorative is at least functional.

A strip down, repaint and refurbish job. Worth it, the quality of the original lamp deserves something better than that which has been visited upon it by a well-meaning, if hapless DIY-er.
