Help!
OK its not that bad. However, I want to change the 1.5 volt bulb (rear lamp) in the cab of my little switcher to an LED. I need some instructions or help on how to dis-assemble the cab from the body in order to get to the bulb which is up in the cab roof/ceiling. Information on how to do this is scant on line or only partially helpful. Is there a way to remove the cab from the rest of the shell? I can see how it might come apart however, I do not want to do anything stupid which will ruin a perfectly good little engine.
Now. I know I can get a drop in decoder from NCE that has resistors which will allow me to use the 1.5 bulb without going through the hassle of attempting to do all this work in the first place. I would however like to change the bulb to an LED anyway as they will last longer and they also look better IMHO.
I'm pretty sure a couple of dudes have this loco and may have already done this.
Any guidance would be like totally awesome man!
