Reply to "Prewar and Postwar versions of Lionel switches - observations and questions"

IMHO, the bayonet base bulbs are better because they don't get loose.  In my thread, I recommend bending the socket for screw in bulbs enough to make friction so the bulbs don't come loose.  I bought some 022 switches some years ago that had the bulbs glued in.  Not a good idea.  Of course, if you put a diode in series with the light bulb, the life of the bulb becomes almost infinite, so gluing might not create any problems.
