Everyone south of Ohio knows it's not a light bulb, but a light "bub".

 

 

You brought back a nearly  three year old thread to make that lame comment? You need a hobby, "bub".

You call me out for bringing back a nearly three year old thread? Who needs a hobby, bub? Sometimes, we have other things going on in our lives and we miss a thread or two. Sorry if I took up YOUR valuable time.

And once we finish changing out that light bulb, will we leave it on analog power or give it digital control? And what about sound?Big Smile Of course, once all that is put in, it will also need to be weathered for realism.Big Smile

But wait!  He brought back a thread after three years, true, BUT the thread was already TWO years old before that!

Maybe his hobby is bringing back old threads!  Ever think of that?  No?  Well, now you know.

People!  Let's try to keep our facts straight.  We don't want any complaints about misrepresented or misinterpreted facts now, do we?

(See what happens when you leave a light bulb burning for 5 years and I can't get any sleep?  I get GROUCHY!!!!

Now turn off that light and let me get some SLEEP!!!!!)

How many subscribers to this message board does it take to change a
light bulb?

Enough of us to know we need to hire a fresh out of college young engineer to figure out how we should change the light bulb. Then Hire a handy man to do it for us, as we each stand around and watch and tell him our ideas of how it should be done.

Well first you have to pre-order the lightbulb, since they're on a "pre-order only" limited edition basis now. I guess the real question, how many people have to pre-order the lightbulb before the manufacturer decides to actually make one??

I also want to know: is the dang pre-ordered, pre-charged limited edition light bulb DCC compatible?
