Fashing lights on TCL

[Neil Robinson]

Dunno, but take a look see.
If the ends furthest from the wires are flat, a bit like the base of a bottle, they are 5V, if the ends are domed 18/24V.

Thank you for that, will have the glass off and have a look tomorrow.

Got A dcc version down at the minute. They are flat bulbs ergo 5volt. Check for your self if its analogue

Predictably, couldnt wait till tomorrow and have just checked it out, my TCL is digital and the bulbs are flat topped.
Page 111 of the 2005 LGB catalogue shows 2 "red" bulbs of which the flat top is 5v.
However, to confuse matters it also shows 2 "white" bulbs with flat tops.....and, guess what, one is 5 and the other is 24.
If the illustrations are to scale, the white bulbs look bigger so I would hazard a guess that I need part number 68512?

I suspect the catalogue may use the same image on occasions for similar but not identical items.
Part number 68512 is for 5V red bulbs, number 68511 for 5V clear bulbs. Before you order I suggest you check the link below to part number 68511A.

Massoth do a pack of 10, I have just replaced several on different locos. They are not as robust as the old screw type ones.
I have 4 locos with the 5v bulbs and all have had one or more fail in the last few months whereas I have replaced just one screw-in bulb out of a dozen locos in 3 yrs. The main difficulty with those is that they have a tendency to work loose.
