Got some made up by Hennings and now the challenge of figuring out how to get it apart and what is some of the stuff inside. Fun stuff, but it will finally be running soon. No clue yet what the Christmas bulb in there is for.
To add some resistance to keep the train from running too fast.
Not far off Andy now that I’ve checked it out. There are 4 lights on the string. One for the crest on the boiler front and two marker lights. The fourth was needed for resistance, otherwise they were too bright. It just flops around in the boiler.
Here is what the lights do. Two marker lights and the number board. The number board does not light up well, but at least they are all working. The headlight is a separate bulb.
