Lionel Trains Yard Light No. 70

Lionel Trains Yard Light No. 70The Yard Light No. 70 was always one of the more elusive of the Post War Accessories. Available for only two years, 1949 and 1950, it is made entirely out of metal with a chrome post and a round BLACK bakelite base that had two binding posts for the electrical wires. Originally, it came with a No. 363 bulb, and it would light from either accessory voltage, or track current with the use of a CTC Lockon.

This light was originally used as part of the earliest version of the No. 397 Coal Loader. When Lionel stopped putting this light on this loader in mid-1948, it is believed that they offered it for separate sale during this year also.

There are no known variations of this accessory.

Dimensions: 1-1/8 inch base, 5-1/4 inches high.
