Converting Atlas RS-1 to twin beam headlight?

[Catt]

There was a write up a few issues back in N Scale Railroading where this very swap was done,as I recall it involved using the dual lights from a different Alco for the install..

Johnathan, I was wondering about something like that, as I have Atlas LIRR RS-3's with dual beam. Mins. by Eric list a part, NL-1 that may be useful. Sent e-mail to Eric, awaiting his reply.
 Thanks,

I have some cut up RS-3 shell parts that have the dual-beam lights sections in great condition. If you want, I'll put em in an envelope and mail them to you.

PWNJ, that would be great. I'll pay shipping, plus a bit more for your trouble.
  Thanks.

Bachmann produces both horizontal and vertical dual beam headlights on their RS3 shells too, FWIW. Might consider swapping shells on mechanisms, the handrails are much finer on the Bachmann shells, and there are no molded on details making it easier for detailing. Just something to consider.
