Headlight  Replacement Instructions

A constant voltage circuit in the engine controls the locomotive’s lights. They are 
easy to remove and replace when they burn out. To replace the light bulbs in the 
engine remove the 6 screws that 
attach the boiler as shown in fig. 5 on 
page 12. Then remove the boiler.

You can obtain replacement bulbs 
directly from the M.T.H. Parts 
Department (phone 410-381-2580; 
email [email protected]; mail 
7020 Columbia Gateway Drive, 
Columbia MD 21046-1532.  

Headlight:

1. Remove the pilot assembly.                  
2. Remove the screw that attaches the 
headlight shell.
3. Unplug the blue connector in the 
front of  the boiler shell. See fig. 8     
4. Gently pull on the wires to remove 
the light bulb from the headlight 
shell.
5. Gently push the new light bulb into 
the headlight housing.
6. Reconnect the blue connectors.        
7. Reassemble pilot and headlight 
shell.

Marker LEDs:

The marker lights are illuminated by 
Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs). LEDs 
draw very little current and should 
last a long time when compared to 
light bulbs. However, if  one LEDs 
fails, both must be replaced as set, since they are wired 
together. 

To replace the front LEDs
