Caboose Light Bulb Replacement
To replace the interior light bulbs, follow these steps.
1. To remove the shell from chassis remove the four screws located underneath
the trucks (figure 14-1).
2. With the four screws removed, lower the chassis from the shell, take care
not to pull the wires out (figure 14-2).
3. To be able to separate the interior from the shell you need to remove the step
platform from both ends. In order to do this you need to loosen the end frames
from the step platform. You must do this carefully so that you don't break
them. Grasp the end frame by the bottom and pivot outwards 5°. You can then
remove the step platforms (figure 14-3).
4. With the step platforms removed you can then lower the interior down from
the shell (figure 14-4).
5. You can now replace the bulbs by pushing the socket up from the bulb
holder and pull the bulb from its socket. Replace with a new one, and reverse
the steps to reassemble the caboose (figure 14-5).
