Light Bulb fo Flyer WG Caboose
Posted by palallin on Thursday, February 16, 2023 9:39 AM

Does anyone know the part number for the little screw-in light bulb in the flyer prewar WG cabooses?  I have a bad buln and need to find a repalcement.  I suspect the bulb is a generic one and fits many applications, but I don't have an ID to search for.  I think it's the same for the Lionel street lamps, for example.

 

Thanks!

Try these guys:

From the home page select "Shop Online," then "Find Your Product," select "Electrical," scroll down to "Bulbs."  

I'd guess any of the regular screw base bulbs should work.  Too bad it's not a bayonet base, if that was the case a 12 volt bayonet  base bulb from an auto parts store would work.  If there's a hobby/train shop in your area they might have something that would work as well.

I would suggest you contact Northwoods Flyer on this Forum and ask him, He will know if anyone does.

Thanks, gents.  The reference to Hennings got me to their website, and the result is that I found the number 432.  I think that's it.

Don't feel bad.  I was going through the parts boxes in the Chugger Barn yesterday and found a buncha stuff I'd forgotten I had!  Embarrassed
