URL is incorrect. I can figure out to delete the period at the end however, the
rest is not user friendly, something common with these type of archives. How
about putting one of these photos in files section for anyone to easily see?

Does anyone have close up photos or dimensional drawings for the small
headlights used on some yard locos. The variety I am interested in look
remotely like a large film camera and were mounted to the front of or just
over the smokebox. A version can be seen by searching by photo number or
loco number, for example 6294, which is CVA 447-578.1,

This is different from the tapered cowl headlamps one sees on other locos and
I associate with WWII. Interestingly, CVA 447-575 and other photos show 6252
and other locos years before WWII yet also sporting the headlight. So (even
though I used to think it was a wartime headlight) I guess it isn't!
I'm trying to modify a U3e switcher model to match #6294 in 1946. Has anyone
done any work like that? Such as beefing up the sand domes?
Any help appreciated.
Some variants and others that may be worth comparing:
CVA 447-575 - 6252
CVA 447-576 - 6255
CVA 447-576.1 - 6255
CVA 447-577 - 6262
CVA 447-578 - 6294
