Possibly from one of the US train sets.

Hmmm, this is a difficult one. I' m pretty sure I have one of those in red, but where did it come from...?
I'll let you know if it pops up in my head  ;)

It isn't from a Special, or a Game set, or an advent calendar....

I really don't think so... I think it is too "bright" to be an old one... The old chrome ones always leave dullish colors - weird greenish/blueish... yellowish, whiteish or pinkish..  or that reddish-brown of that helmet once! At least mine always have been that way.

Today I remembered to check  - I have one of those as well.  ???

I am with macguyver on this one. Having searched through all the sets on Klickywelt's Datenbank-Setinhalt, I couldn't find a red lantern. But several of these early sets have the chrome lanterns. So I checked my spares and found two with worn chrome, one with white plastic underneath and one with red:


For some reason, quite a lot of early chrome parts have a red plastic base. Sometimes the chrome wears off completely. Maybe there were red lanterns, but I think it looks likely that they were formerly chromed. Any traces of chrome anywhere on your red lanterns pingo or tahra?
