One of the biggest problems with toy train accessories is the combination of heat and plastic. It was bad enough when the toys were new 50+ years ago but with age the plastics become more susceptible to the heat generated by the bulbs. Especially when the bulb has heat a fairly liquid enough for it to bubble. My suggestion - never hook the light up UNLESS you use a low voltage setting just enough to light up the tube but not hot enough to cause the liquid to bubble. K-Line made a later day repo that was more suited to the task.
