Actually not a Railway lantern, but a British Army WWII traffic and signal lamp. The arrow on the plate with date is a British Army War Department marking. The lanterns were used as regular lanterns, but also to mark road sides for drivers to find their way at night. They originally came with a cover for the lens with an arrow in it as well, for directioning traffic, but these covers were almost all removed when people continued to use these lamps after the war. All in all, a great video and an awesome piece of history!

In blackest day, in brightest night, Beware your fears made into light. Burn like my power Sinestro's might!

woah looks amazing Ben!

You are realy gold at restoring. My respect👏👍

Very well done, heres a tip for restoring glass (I've used this car detailing quite often), get a clay bar for detailing and use it on glass, it will pick up everything regular washing doesn't.

How can anybody dislike this video?? This was possibly my favourite video of yours yet - you must do more restorations like this! It was incredible, great job man. Keep up the fantastic work!

Not sure how you do it but your videos are just relaxing to watch and interesting at the same time. 5 stars!

i like the music also its the right volume it did not distract from the restoration

Damn those edit skills!

We need more macro shot!

I am glad you kept all the parts, thats a restoration. Unlike that dude in Las Vegas who has a tv program and "restores" things but changes what he wants from parts to the paint job.

King of Restoration!

That thing has an impressive beam for a fire light!!! I don't think it ever worked as well as it does now. Really beautiful!

that is a work worth watching. a zillion times more valuable than smashing things with a car wheel.

This just looks so incredible, it really is as good as new. Nice work Ben.

This is something worth watching 👍 Do more of these, really enjoyed it !

Thankyou for making these videos. I find them very relaxing and satisfying learn at the same time.

I have no doubt you would’ve also restored the poor namesake movie to a marvelous condition. Great job, congratulations.

Very good restoring 👍 Very interesting

Excellent outcome. I just found one exactly like yours with surface rust but everything original. I have all the tools except that nice mini sand blaster.

I"m a train junkie and would give my right arm for that, it's beautiful, great job!

With videos that you make we can see how thing looked like 70 years ago ! :D keep up the fantastic work!

seriously! this is one of the best restoration videos I've ever watched!

Wow! Really fantastic work. That lantern is more than ready for another 76 years.

Great job beautifully restored love to see the whole restoration

Very eagerly waiting for your next casting project . Hope to see it soon BTW love the restoration

Restored like a labour of love!

Very cool bro, nice job. I dig old stuff like that, they're very interesting

Speechless.

Nice one Ben! 😀 👍

Fantastic job love the colour great job as always 👍👍👍👊

Lovely restoration. Many thanks.

shew 1943, how things have changed over the years! This is epic, nice work!

Impeccable cleanup! Very impressive result.

I'm from Indonesia.. Love this video ❤

very nice job on making this old lamp look proper and fit for use again.

Oh Wow! This is my very first time I am watching a Restoration video. And I enjoyed the perfect details that was done to restore this old lantern. I have some old ceiling lantern from a very very old house and I wanted to restore it but had no idea how to. I wish you lived in my city.I would have brought my lanterns to you. Now I have to look for somebody like you to do this for me. Its truly an Art to do such a fantastic work. Its a passion. I really appreciate what I saw. Its was a treat. Thank you.

Beautiful!!

This is one Presstube's greatest video. I like this video very much.

The first song was so relaxing.

excellent job restoring. I respect your decision to keep all the original parts:)

Wow that was awesome and amazing

Extreme craftsmanship 👍👍👍

I'm a bit late to the party on this video. Great showing, I was really impressed with the coloration of the red and blue light, just fabulous and such a soft glow. The brass work looked amazing as well! Keep up the great work, thanks for sharing!! :)

Great video! I have just purchased two old railway lamps and intend to restore them to their former glory - I hope mine look like yours when I've finished!

Well done. I love the finished product.

This lantern was 76 years old but it still works I give this a thumbs up this was the best video or your the best

beautiful piece

better than some of the channels that have been restoring for far longer than you, do more please, great work

Dang Ben, first few seconds of the video I assumed the lantern was too beat up, looks like that's not much of a problem for you!

These new restoration vids are sick! Congrats Ben!!!

Ik vind dit zo gaaf om te zien he, geeft zoveel voldoening! More restore old things videos please Ben!

So cool!

Love it! Wish I could find one! Cool macrolens!

Fabulous video, you made that old veteran look brand new again! Your work is amazing...I'd love to see you do more restoration work like this. Now if only I were closer...I have a turn-of-the-century policeman's 'bullseye' dark lantern I'd love to have restored :P

So...sir,you decided to jump on restoration in your spare time now? I love to see both casting and restoration in one channel with my favorite KZreadr after pew die pie

Felicitaciones por el buen trabajo de restauración 🇵🇪

Great job!

Very good restoration 👍👍👍

Nice job!! Good to see u didn't break any lenses. The are worth as much as the whole lamp haha

That was a bright idea to restore! 🔆💨✨

Wowww! Amazingggg

I am missing your casting video's but these are also nice

What caught my attention is that the reflective sheet makes it look like a flashlight, giving more light to the light.

Make more videos like this, love it
