Hello,


A closer look into the shell. A lot of black wires ending in micrro incandescent bulbs. These will be replaced by LEDs.





An oversight of the demounted running gear.





Starting with remowing the micro bulbs. Here one of the ditchlights is gently pulled off.





The micro bulbs are glued. But fortunately  the glue is water soluble. So i applied some water with a handbrush and give the water some time to affect the glue.





Pay attention to the tiny light glasses. They are also glued with this water soluble stuff. Pick them up with great care and store them safely.





After a certain induction period the bulbs can simply pulled out without any resistance.


Until now only the demounting of the loco is described as preparation for the modifications.
