I just received a LionChief Plus 2.0 ET44 and the headlight and ditch lights are ridiculously bright. There doesn't appear to be anyway to dim them via the Bluetooth app or the universal controller. Other than painting the bulbs with a flat clear (I don't want to alter their color), any suggestions? I have no electrical skills, but if I were able to find someone capable of adding some resistors to the light circuits, how would they go about doing that? Thank you!

Lorosco, that's a nice little engine, manufactured between 1939-1941. Because it is O gauge, it should run on any O gauge track.

I suspect that you bought it "as is," and the seller already knows that it doesn't run--otherwise, he would have said so and charged a higher price.

At the time, Lionel had a well-deserved reputation for manufacturing high-quality products, but eighty years will take its toll. An expert might get it running again by installing new parts. For what it will cost, you might be better off purchasing a similar locomotive.

Pre-war, latch couplers, trucks. Missing the dump body. Probably a 659. Without body, not much value.

Welcome aboard, Sitofic. I don't think your message got through, though.

Welcome aboard, TJET!.

This is a tough one, so we need more information. What specifically are you going to attach it to? Have you contacted Lionel, which does keep supplies of old parts?

We've got some knowledgeable people here who might be able to help if they have additional information.
