Reply to "Disassembly of aluminum K-Line observation car"

A bit of slow methodical bravery paid off. With a bit of carefully applied pressure I was able to access the wires to the rear lights. The new plan is to solder resistors near the lamps and not disassemble the car any more. If I can reduce the heat from the lamps enough, I will use a tiny amount of epoxy to attach NOS lenses from Brasseur. The lenses look pink so I’ll add some acrylic transparent red to darken them up. I REALLY appreciate your advice on this topic. Please, keep posting and understand that I am open to any suggestions that will lead to success. I thought I’d start with 560 ohm resistors, unless you have a better idea
