Help find E-5 screw lamp base and lamps.

Try www.bulbtown.com

Any Lionel parts dealer will have bulbs. Here is a fellow that sells them at a discount.

Here too. I believe that's " midget screw base"

I had the same problem. I found that Brawa makes the sockets (Brawa #3432). They are very simmilar to the RS sockets, http://www.hobbylinc.com/htm/bra/bra3422.htm
They call them E5.5 but they are the same as E5. They fit the RS bulbs and Lionel replacements.

Send me an email and I'll sell you what you need cheap. I have a bunch of them that look just like these.



I'm using LED's for most lighting now, and these are surplus.

gunrunnerjohn,

Do you happen to have any of the 6 volt midget screw base lamps? I need both the lamps and the bases to match an existing installation. Otherwise I would try LED's also.

How "midget" are you looking for? Perhaps the pictures are fooling me, mine are the standard size for Lionel bulbs like the 1447 lamp.

Are these the really tiny ones used for headlights in some Lionel locomotives?

Edit: I just looked up E-5 bulbs and sockets, I don't have those, sorry for misleading you. Mine are the larger sockets.
