This may or may not be general knowledge, and not sure exactly how many Lionel cars use the lamps that are wire leaded and fit into a plastic holder that plugs into a socket, but here is a better deal than $1 each. Mouser Electronics has 14V .1 amp wire lead lamps, P/N 560-2162 for 42 cents each 37 cents for 10 and more discounts for even greater quantities. Unbend the leads from the holder, pull out the bad lamp and put in the new one. You'll need to trim the lead length, but that is good as the original Lionel lamps seemed to have their leads too short, causing some not to make a reliable connection when plugged in. The Crescent Limited set has two bulbs in series, but they are still nice and bright. Select USPS for shipping, and you'll get your order in a few days.
