Replacement Light Bulbs

quote:

sometimes, i can't find simple information. Does anyone know what the replacement light bulb would be for a 1949 Lionel Wrecker Caboose #6420. Thumbing through my old catalogs 

has yielded the original number, L 1402, a clear 14volt bulb. 

The GE number is 1402.  Olsens has scans of two Lionel Service Manual Lamp charts on their web site.

Lionel used a couple of different numbering schemes, finally settling on taking the GE number, and putting an "L" in front. For colored bulbs they just put a "G" or "R" or "W" on the end.
