Lightbulb advice for an older engine

[mtrosclair]

I picked this up on eBay and it seems to be an exceptional condition except that I have a few lightbulbs that are burned out. Do I need the five volt bulbs with the little bayonet type mounting, or do I have screw ends? I wanted to go ahead and order them before I pulled this apart. She runs great though!

this version of ‘Wizzy Cranks’ was in production from 1973-1995. Not ure but I think that may be after screw type were fitted. However there may still be 2 types to choose from if it is DCC fitted. Can you get the bulb out from the front? If it just pulls out then clearly not a screw one.

The lenses on the front of it don't seem to come off so I'm assuming the bulbs have to come out from the backside.

They are supposed to come off.... some careful persuasion may be required.

I have recently replaced a tatty old body, with a replacement I brought at the Llangollen show.

You need to take the body off the chassis, 4 screws near the bogies.

You can then turn the body upside down and access the cabs.

Remove the driver consoles to get to the lamps....

As said about removing the lensed, some are known to glue them in place to save loss. But this proves that the bulbs are not screw fix as in those days I am pretty sure that no lenses or coloured bezels were applied to the products when new.
