The ones catering to people who build their own locomotives have small bulbs of various voltages, though 1.5 and 12 volt are the most common. Prices range from $1 to $3 per bulb. One thing that you should already realize is that the new ones will eventually burn out, too. So it would be wise to do the right thing and replace them with LEDs, and they will last tens of thousands of hours. I do that routinely at the shop where I work on TAD M-8's and MD-150's, which use a similar scheme. However, you have to be sure to add appropriate limiting resistors for each series string!
