Although I did some digging on the web (here, and generally), I couldn't find the answer for what type of replacement bulb(s) to use. There are plenty of lamps with bulbs available, but I just want the bulbs. My working 670s have at least three different bulbs installed, so I'm assuming the threaded bulb base is the critical dimension. That, plus working voltage of course. Anyone in this esteemed group know the standard bulb type for these lamps? Thanks in advance. Regards, - MR

They may come on 2 different lamp sizes: small more current now and large as used to be produced in the 1950's Like here: https://www.ebay.de/itm/16428693...3ad75:g:FS0AAOSw3blfCtwc My opinion: I get rid of all lamps and replace them with LEDs equivalent. The other current type used by Märklin is the 60000 type with an MS4 socket to be also found on ebay Germany. Cheers Jean

Regards, - MR I think you will find it is the same bulb as the screw in marklin headlight bulbs used in the 60's. I don't have the Marklin part number immediately handy sorry, can get tomorrow if no-one else has it first.
