Prewar Light Bulbs | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

I need some bulbs for 517 & 217 cabooses. What is the old # used for those bulbs? I think they take the same kind.

If you go to a vendor that sells bulbs (such as Town & Country Hobbies) they identify the bulbs by the old model #. For instance I bought some 1447's for my 600 series cars. T&C has a postwar guide but nothing for prewar.

And finally, does anyone know if LED replacements were ever produced for Lionel Stations (teardrop bulbs) or the terraces (globes)? I've never seen any so I presume they've never been made. Thanks for your help.

Not sure about "old" numbers, but the bulbs are 432, although a 430 is probably fine too.
