FAMC marker lamps

Post by makinsmoke »

Does anyone have information on whether the Franklin Automatic Machine Company lamps are still being made and sold?

I can’t find a website for FAMC, and sadly FlashersRUs is gone with the passing of the owner.

Thanks,
Brian

Joe is still making and selling the lamps as far as I know. I don't know if he ever had a good website, but you should be able to call him. (the number is 615-371-0697)

I bought a set from him last year, and he was easy to talk to on the phone and quick to mail them. I haven't installed them yet.

Brian...yes, the marker lamps (various styles) are still being made. Your best bet is to call FAMC, Joe Ed Gaddes at 615-371-0697. Most likely, you'll have to leave your name and phone number. Joe Ed will call you back to find out what's up. He's an interesting guy to talk to. Very familiar with RR's and railroading. Hope you find what you're looking for. Carl B.
