ROFLMAO and I’ve seen this one on the old forum. Thanks for bringing it back!

You must add this one;
3 to discuss the wattage and voltage of the light bulb (lamp) I am sure there are others. Mike

and me to ask what is a light bulb anyway?

I can see where this is going!

how about this one:

2 to update other forums on the controversy!

Eh yer all wrong, you should use fluorescents

What kind of a scent? I don’t believe in things that smell bad.

Er…I use candles… how is this thing what you call…um…“lightbulb”?

I run my trains in the dark

Why change a bulb

Back in the good old days, the real craftsmen would build their own light bulbs. Not like today’s ready-to-run light bulbs! Those straight-from-the-box bulbs are ruining this hobby!

In and of itself, it’s not really a “light” bulb. It’s really kind of dark until you apply electricity!

… and one modeller with a wacked out sense of humor to state that HEAVY bulbs are better than LIGHT bulbs.[:)]

Why are we even talking about light bulbs- get with the times - LED’s.[}:)]

Don’t forget 15 to argue if GE bulbs are better than Phillips bulbs.(My GE Bulbs are really smokey…[swg])

Does anybody have plans to scratchbuild a lightbulb?
