A long time ago, back when engines where 6-18xxx, I could find a diagram, or a diagram close enough, to the engine on hand, to identify parts, and order said parts from the Lionel website.

About three weeks ago I was able to get the ground light housing and some traction tires from the Lionel parts website (www.lionelsupport.com).

Now I have a Legacy engine, Lionel 6-28313 Canadian National SD70M-2, that could use a grain of wheat light bulb, lamp, light, whatever you call it, behind the number board - it is not an LED. I found an electrical schematic of a similar engine, Lionel calls it "FRONT NUMBER BOARD LIGHTS", and the circuitry certainly looked like what I have on hand.

After some futzing around, I figured out I need to change the Search By to Replacement Part, and the Text Search from LIGHT to LAMP, but I still can't narrow it down as to which one. I don't want to just head off to eBay or Ali Express, because I don't want to melt the neighboring plastic - someone had to put some engineering time into this.

Is there another resource, like diagrams or Bills-of-Material, that I am missing? Just buy any that look like its right and match the cold resistance to the one that still works?

Go to Lionel's website, click on Replacement Parts. In the drop down box, choose Search By Product Number or Name.  In the Match drop down box, choose Any Part of Word.  In the Text Search box, type in SD70M-2 and click Search. Six entries will be listed. Choose the first Canadian National LEGACY SD70 M-2 #8020 and click View Parts on the right. Scroll down to the bottom, and click the right arrow to get to the next page. Look for  Lamp, and it is Sequence 34. Click on the camera icon on the right to bring up a picture of the part.
