Need A Light Bulb

If it is a 18volt bulb, if it is a small dome the number is 1445. If large it is 433. Bulbtown has them cheap. Shipping seems reasonable. I have purchased from them with no problems.

Hey Chuck, I just put away a half dozen or so 1445 bulbs that came with some stuff I purchased, and I put them in my 14.4 vac bin. This is what I found at Bulbtown:

That said, I would swear I have also seen 1445's in the taller bayonet base version. Is there an 18v version also?

This is what they had for a #433 bulb:

Geo, GE1445 has been the standard 18volt lamp for Lionel for decades. In the past it has always been rated for 18v. # 53 is rated for 14volts. I see some on Ebay call 1445 for 14 volts.  The MTH whistle caboose would use a #57. Large dome, 14 volt like the #53.

But in reality, You could use a 57, 53, or a 1445, any would work fine.

Check a Radio Shack if you have one or Autozone or any electronics supply store.

Agreed, I'm currently running all three types in my trains! I do have a couple of unidentified bulbs that are only labeled as 18V, but they sure aren't very bright running conventional!
