John, I dug up that old speaker post, I remembered part of it, but not all.. The part I remembered was a statement you made about "any speaker....." and the info I posted about one I found on the bay, Looks like I should have dug it up before I ordered this speaker. Like my old speaker, my old memory is not what it used to be, sorry to wrongly incriminate you! The post is here https://ogrforum.ogaugerr.com/...0#169233314960521340
Eventually, I will wind up with one I guess, but not without effort. Entering this, ' 2" 16 ohm 5 watt speaker ' into the search on the bay yields a great many...none that will work, Their search engine leaves a lot to be desired,
a web search shows this one

It is $6 and probably more than that to ship it, A web search turns up many - but I am guessing that .5 watt will not work if 5 watt is required. The Lionel site & the Lioneltrainstore sites do not return any after a search (1 wont take the 2"....it just searches for 2 speakers! seems nothing is straight foreward anymore!)
And it appears Amazon sells every kind of speaker ever made....numerous .5 watt ones..... Here is a pair for less than $6, but only .25 watt and shipped free! Seems you can buy a ton of everything you DON'T want on Amazon AND get it shipped for free.
So, like Vernon said, cutting to the chase, anyone have a link to a known good supplier with a known satisfactory replacement speaker, at a reasonably shipped price.... before I die of old age?

NOTE: Clicking on my link takes you to the speaker page. Clicking on the link in John's post below yields "Page Not Found" MORE interestingly is that, if you copy my link (or John's) and paste it into a browser, you get the "PNF" message. I am betting John copied and pasted mine into his reply. I have no idea why this is!! Anyone know why?? )
