Howdy folks. My detached garage is off limits for a few days while some vinyl plank flooring is being installed, so I'm unable to work in my train room for the duration. I decided to use the time to repaint an Atlas O Trainman (TMCC) that I obtained a couple of years ago on eBay. I'm not a fan of the demonstrator paint scheme, but got a very good deal on a virtually new locomotive. Soon it will have the ubiquitous grimy appearance of a Pennsy RS-11, as inspired by the work of Norm Charbonneau (if only I could achieve his weathering skills).
While I'm at it, I'd like to replace the amber headlight bulbs with clear ones. Since the tech engineering of this locomotive is more than a decade old, I'm hoping there is an "easy" option for new bulbs. For example, each bulb has its own tiny circuit board (see attached pic). Are they integrated with the fwd/rev signal in some way, or with the option to turn the lights on/off? (I would think that those outputs would be on one of the primary circuit boards, but what do I know?)
Looking for recommendations from some of you who have gone down this path already. Thanks in advance!
