Hello. I have a Hafner M10000 clockwork set, it has a light bulb that is powered by a "C" battery; the light bulb is the part I need, it doesn't have a round globe, but looks like it was "squashed". It is a 2.5 volt bulb, and I would appreciate a part number and availability info. Thanks in advance!

Robert Grossman sells a flat face 1.1V bulb that works for the old Joy Line torpedo front locomotive i have.
liking Hafner so much i hate to have to say this, but the M10000 bulb placement looks quite ridiculous to me. i know it's correct but i just refuse to ruin the look of an otherwise nice looking model and prefer to leave the bulb socket empty. still a good idea to put in a battery, though. helps with balance and adds a little weight.
cheers...gary
I have a Hafner engine with the battery light and I noticed that it tends to fly off the track in the curves when a battery is installed. I think that the C battery adds a mass up high, so the engine is a little top heavy. The train stays on the track fine with the battery removed. I can always add cars to slow it down, but on my tiny layout I like to run with the engine, tender, one car and caboose. Something I haven't tried yet is adding a weight down low in front. The front wheel drive does tend to slip without weight in the front.
Was it Hafner that made banked windup track?
Hafner track was banked for many years. Later track was not.
