When I learned I couldn't get 455 anymore, I ordered some of these from Comet:

From their recommendation, I'm using both fast and slow bulbs in the same machine. This does make the blinking seem more random if you alternate them. The warm white color isn't a yellow as the incandescent bulbs. But these might be the best option available right now.

Here is what my River Boat looks like with the alternating fast and slow as I described above. The guy's tie tack has a slow blinker behind it.
