Light Bulb Replacement
To replace the light bulb in the locomotive, follow these instructions and see the
diagrams below:
Remove the locomotive boiler from its chassis as shown in figure 4a on page 14.
Once the boiler has been removed from the chassis, remove the smoke unit from the
boiler to gain access to the headlight connector. Next separate the connector as shown
in figure 9. Carefully pull the bulb through the grommet in the bottom of the headlight
shell. The headlight shell can be removed from the boiler to make the removal and
replacement of the bulb easier as seen in figures and . Thread the wires and the light
bulb back through the hole in the boiler. Last, install the new bulb using the reverse
procedure.
You can obtain replacement bulbs directly from the M.T.H. Parts Department.
