Light Replacement Instructions
The locomotive’s lights are controlled by a constant voltage circuit in the
engine. They are easy to remove and replace when they burn out. See the
diagrams and directions below for instructions on accessing and replacing the
light bulbs in this locomotive.
You can obtain replacement bulbs directly from the M.T.H. Parts Department
(phone: 410-381-2580; e-mail: [email protected]; mail: 7020 Columbia
Gateway Drive, Columbia MD 21046-1532)
Headlight:
1. Pull on the headlight to open the magnetic
door on the front of the boiler.
2. Gently pull the wires connected to the lights
out until you can access the wire connectors,
and unplug the connectors.
3. To replace the white headlight, gently pull
the wires until the bulb comes free of the
housing. Push the new bulb into place and
reconnect the wires.
Firebox and Cab Interior Lights:
1. Remove the boiler from its chassis as shown
in Fig. 7a on pg. 12.
2. Unplug the black wires from their connector.
3. Remove the firebox light bulb by pulling it
down and out of its bracket. You may find it
easier to unscrew the bracket from the boiler
before removing the bulb. Replace the bulb by
pushing it up and into the bracket. You may
need to use small pliers to do this.
4. Remove the cab interior light by pulling
gently on the wire until the bulb comes free of its housing. Push the
replacement bulb into position.
5. Reassemble in reverse order, being careful not to pinch any wires.
