[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by jrbernier</i> <br /><br />The Athearn Genesis bolb draw very little current, but vary wildly from bulb to bulb. My calculations say 700 ohms, but I have had them burn out within 5 minutes with that small of a resistor. I use a 1000 ohm resistor and they last forever(or at least the past year or so!)[/quote] <br />OK - I think I have some 860s on hand. I'll try those. As long as I can get a reasonable length of time out of them, I'll be happy! Thanks!
