I'll keep this in my tip list!
There is a voltage regulator article in one of the latest NMRA "Scale Rails"
edited by Steven Priest, MMR. Unfortuantely, it appears to be too big for
a caboose interior, but there might be a way to condense it. It certainly
is good for other layout applications. I think that Circuitron also has a
large voltage regulator for layout use, ready-to-install. PBL had a
postage stamp sized regulator they used to sell, but apparently it is no
longer carried.
FYI, I think the new "Scale Rails" is worth the price of admission to the
NMRA...

Therefore, based on what you've written, I'd say you need three
120-ohm, 1/4-watt resistors for the bulbs in your caboose. Perhaps
somebody else can confirm or correct my calculations.
I see that Radio Shack has 150-ohm resistors, which should be
suitable. They come in packs of 5 for 99 cents.
