Where can I buy replacement light bulbs?? Any cheap places.

The writing on the train that states, Built in 9-47, … That means September 1947???
Thanx,
CS
Yes do hard ware stores carry these bulbs??
Are you trying to figure out what year the train was made? Auto parts store, Home Depot Lows, Radioshack for the bulbs

Along with the above mentioned, a good hobby shop will carry the full line of replacement bulbs. CTT also advertises Town & Country which sells a full line of bulbs.
As far as builder dates on cars, in the Post War era Lionel usually developed their printing process once for a car series and kept using it. So a car that says “New 4-47” could have been made in April 1947 or September of 1968… or somewhere in between.
In the Post 1970 world builder dates were a little more accurate!

I agree, with emphasis on the word “GOOD”.
Recently, I did the Radio Shack, Home Depot, Electronic and Hardware store route looking for a bulb for one of my engines. NET RESULT: “Trainland” had it.
PS. I did check a LHS (not really close). They would order it for me! I also checked E-Bay and a couple of On-line train parts places but the minimum charges were too high.
I’m lucky in that I have a major parts supplier right down the street from me, and several well stocked hobby/train stores nearby.
Jeff Kane at The Train Tender is nice about letting people make small mail orders.

They have LEDs, too.
Kool…You are right because I have some pieces that were in a new set in 1963, but are marked in the 1950’s. Not only do they have the date, but they say Blt by Lionel.
Thought Dr. Tinker took care of you. [;)]
