Has anyone seen or know of a source for some oval led lenses like in the bumper and visor in the picture below.

Good luck. I haven't seen any lenses like that, anywhere, unless you custom cut and filed your own to shape out of some larger lenses.

Radio Shack sells rectangle LEDs. Not sure the exact size but I have seen 2mmX4mmX7mm and 2mmX5mmX7mm listed a few places. And NO I am not planning on making anything for them as a standard line part.:eek::eek:

As an idea look into 1/25th scale models.... THey have many different size/shape lens. trust my their brake lights are perfect marker lights ;) Just saying. there are many vendors in that scale that will sell or make any size lens for you. Just gotta look around. I have a few links ill find for ya

You could also check on Ebay and train sites for G-scale trains. They might have the proper light lens you need. :cool:

How many do you need? I can cut them on my laser.
