The right hand marker lamp on my Right-Of-Way brass T-1 Duplex has gone out. As I recall, that loco has CV lighting so is probably 3 volt. What kind of lamp is it, and where would I be able to find one ?

Fwiw, replace it with an LED then forget about replacing it again. This loco has lost a lot of value that there is not much collector value in it.
Yeah, that's why I got it so cheap ! What series resistance does an LED need in a 3 - 5 volt circuit ? Or what is the current of the LED son I can compute it ?
Its a 1.5 volt grain of rice bulb.

Thanks Lou, I think I even have some of them around somewhere.
Well, the class lamps (not "marker" - they're on the tender) should seldom be lit on a loco anyway - unplug the other one for a better look. Tender, too.
I like the ROW T-1 - a funky (oh, that tender!) but endearing piece if there ever was one. Way ahead of its time, like most ROW locos. Good runner. As for its "collector value" - feh - trains are for running.
I have the ROW T-1 - and the Lionel and the Williams brass. Not the Weaver brass, yet. The ROW is, ah, not as accurate, to say the least, as the others - but it's willing.

I was just very pleased to find a nice, smooth running T-1 for like $360; had not planned on the expense of acquiring a nice finescale T-1 like the Lionel - but could not resist the ROW when it turned up at the low price. I also have a set of PA-1s by ROW, all of it looks beautiful and runs really sweet !
