Headlight
The locomotive’s headlight is controlled by a constant voltage circuit in the engine.
The headlight is easy to remove and replace when it burns out. The bulb has a
quick disconnect plug that attaches the bulb harness to a connector terminal.
Gently disconnect the bulb harness from the connector terminal and remove bulbs
through the rear of the headlight socket. Insert the new bulb harness and
reconnect. Replacement bulb harnesses are available directly from the M.T.H. Parts
Department.
Cab Interior Lights
The cab interior lights are also made with a bulb harness that attaches to a quick
disconnect plug. Gently disconnect the bulb harness from the connector, and
remove the bulb. Insert the new bulb harness and reconnect. Replacement bulb
harnesses are available directly from the M.T.H. Parts Department.
