I need to replace a light bulb and smoke unit in my 1980s 2080s, it has the small push fit bulbs but an analogue sound, are these bulbs and smoke unit 5v as in later models or 18v?
1980s LGB 2080S smoke and light voltage.

The push in flat topped bulbs are 5V; the domed top version 18V. The smoke unit's voltage may be determined by the wire colours.
I'm fairly sure that this loco would have been fitted with push fit 5V bulbs as opposed to the 18V screw in type of the 1970s version. The 5V smoke unit has one black and one white wire.

I was wondering as the service diagram does not say which and I know that the some of newer basic Stainz loco have the push fit bulbs and smoke unit which are 18v.
The loco is a crossover design as the sound unit has the push switches for bell and whistle but has the later type lamps with small bulbs and clear plastic lenses.
1970s and 80s LGB locos have very mixed components but with the same loco code number and it is hard to tell which age or design of parts they are built bfrom unless you striop them down!
