Platform lamp posts were needed. I'd picked up an old Kibri kit for a level crossing, this included rather basic mouldings for 2 non-working lamp posts of a suitable type, but these lacked diffusers, so after a little thought, I found the window glazing sprue from the same kit, checked the sprue diameter and found it was about the right diameter to make diffusers from, and had a useful elliptical cross-section. I cut two bits of sprue lengthwise with a razor saw, sanded the flats smooth, then sanded the ends to a half-dome shape. The resulting diffusers were then attached to the lamps using Revell Contacta Clear, which worked very well. The photos show the process, and the finished lamp posts installed on the layout.
