As I am new back to model trains, I have no clue as to where I can aquire parts. The last time I had this much fun I only had to go to my local hobby store were I could find anything I wanted. Today my stuff is old and my somewhat local hobby store does not carry parts they only sell new items. I need to replace the lights on two of my engines and I know this is chep. Where can I find the lights, Radio Shack? or are there web sites I can surf.

Thanks for you help

Christopher,

First, welcome to the forum. Second, we can do a better job of helping you if you tell us what equipment you are running; most Internet parts suppliers handle specific brands. Start off by identifying the manufacturer of the engines and the engine number: that should be a 3 to 5 digit number painted prominently on the engine. Knowing those things are essential to being able to help you.

Radio Shack has a two lead 12 volt bulb.
Radio Shack 272-1092 These are not insulated, they have others that are.
