Light Bulb Replacement Instructions Cont’d

5.  Lights are located at the front and rear of the cab as seen in Figure 21 and 22.  Burned 
out bulbs can be removed by unplugging the light and replacing.  Front light bulbs are 
installed under the cab roof of the body.  These bulbs are located above the cabinterior 
roof and will require that the cab interior and interior roof be removed in order to gain 
access to the bulbs.  The interior is held in place by clearly visible phillips screws.

To Replace:

Gently pull the wires until the bulb comes free of the housing.  Push the new bulb into 
place and reconnect the wires.

Self-Charging Battery Back-Up

The special NiCad AA self-charging batteries recharge continuously during train 
operation and  should last between one and five years.  The batteries should not leak or 
cause any damage to your engine.  Depending upon when your engine was built, it may 
need to be charged right out of the box.  If engine sounds seem distorted or garbled at 
low voltages or become silent when power from the transformer is turned off, test the 
battery to determine whether it should be recharged or replaced.
