Hi guys - I need to find a source for ordering this bulb that came out of the Lionel gooseneck lamp. Does anyone have an idea where I can order them?
Thanx,
Paul

His website is above in the blue print. It might be easier to send him a picture or call him. He is a really nice guy! Has almost everything!
Thanx, Mike - the first time I clicked on it his website didn't come up - only an e mail - got it the second time!

Can someone give me a "description" of the bulb for the gooseneck lamp? The website Mike sent me does not have pictures - only descriptions.
Paul
Is it a screw-base or a bayonet? What voltage do you intend to use? Incandescent or LED? There are several choices. Vendors will want to know what you need. The original was a white, frosted, globe-shaped bulb.
This company has many choices:

Scroll down until you see the 1442 type lamps.
I think this is it. Lionel #12 6 Volt 2-Pin Frosted Bulb, Gooseneck Street Lamps,
You are close.
The correct bulb would be a #19F, which is a 12 volt, 2-pin frosted bulb.
The picture is fine.
Lionel did use #12, 6 volt 2-pin bulbs in some other places, such as the 195 light tower.
These bulbs do not have many applications outside of the world of Lionel, so they tend to be much more expensive than common bayonet or screw based bulbs.
If you can only find the #12 bulbs, then I guess you could wire two lamp posts in series (that is how the 195 is wired internally), or just lower the voltage to 6 volts or something a bit lower.
One good thing about these bulbs (especially the #12) is that they are rated to have a very long life.
Thanx to everyone for all your input and help!

Paul, here is a link to picture of bulbs from Jeff the train tenders website, Hope it helps! Looks like you need a 19-303 2pin frosted.
Thanx, Mike - that helps a lot!

Your more then welcomed! I know I will need help down the road!
Those photos are a great help! All I had ever seen there was the parts list. Thanks for posting that one Mike!
It's always nice to help!
The #19 bulbs are readily available inexpensively at Auto parts stores such as Napa.
I second the suggestion to consult Jeff. He's a prince and knows his stuff!
