Headlight replacement?
By: undercover Date: December 27, 2020, 11:51 am

Is it possible to replace the headlight in this unit? It has
been intermittent this Christmas and now it’s totally out.

And where can I source one from? Also does the circuit board on
the interior of the engine simply glue to the inside via some
foam? Seems as if I rip it off how do I put it back correctly?
Thanks on advance

Thanks, do you know where I can source one? And when I goggle
that part number I get a picture that looks like a screw type
bulb? Peep Figure 7:

Indeed every reference to that bulb number shows a screw base
bulb.
It may be possible you have a locomotive where the original
screw base bulb was replaced with the grain-of-wheat bulb.
Did you get the loco in a sealed box, or was it used?
Here are 12-16 volt grain-of-wheat bulbs.

Used is how I got it but it looks stock. Thanks. Grain of wheat
ordered. Any idea if I can put a horn in here while I’m in
there?

Here is a small horn board, but you need to supply a speaker.
