Notice they also have the other parts if needed- flasher PCB and socket as well.
Keyword search bridge, and then refined with lamp is how I got to this listing.

Note, I wish I coould provide direct URL links to parts but unfortunately I have not yet figured out how to do that for MTH pats site or it is blocked. Just saying, sorry, you either have to do keyword search or know the exact part number.

Vernon,
Thank you for your help. Although the bulb is listed on the site, unfortunately it is not in stock. Given the state of affairs with MTH these days it probably won't be in the future.
It is likely a #1768 bulb (6V, 1.2W) or a #378 (6.3V, 1.26W) painted red. They are E5 (E5.5) base and have a T1-3/4 envelope. They are available from the usual sources.
I think the #342 (6V, 0.24W) would be too dim and the #1775 (6.3V, 4.73W) would be too bright (and certainly too hot).
Just out of curiosity, did they send you an email saying out of stock? The website allowed me to add to cart although I did not check out.
Then just get a different 6V bulb and dip in TAMIYA USA TAM81027 Acrylic X27 Gloss Clear Red
That's all they are doing. I was taught this trick by Summerville Mike.
Last, here is the link to another parts supplier https://traindoctor.com/index....roducts_id=777111156
