They didn't do any good for my track signal, but they make great control panel indicator lights!! I'd like to get some more. Are they still available? Somewhere?

Look at the forum sponsor train electrics. He has them. Used to be Scott's odds and ends
I looked at those and none of them are the wired bulb units OGR was selling as "Magic Lights" to enhance signal strength before the advent of Rev L TIUs resolved the problem.
Not those. The ones with the amber lens and pigtails as a unit.
Thems the ones ... thanks Frank!
Turns out those are to low a rating and for DC instead of AC.
Go directly to the source and email Rich at OGR. I'm pretty sure he would know.
Just for the record, the OGR "magic lights" were anything but good for cleaning up the DCS signal. In that regard, they were terrible.
However, I use them for panel power indicators, for which they were well-suited.

Agree. Like to get some more for that purpose. I powered them with a separate transformer using DPST switches and they work great!
I have 1 .maybe 2 if I look hard enough.... You can have them ,Send address and I'll stick'em in the mail.
They did work sort of work as a magic bulb if you put 2 in series.
I have used the larger panel lights w/ small bayonet bulbs available at Radio Shack but insert 28 volt bulbs available at the same. They work just fine.
