Headlight replacement?

• Headlight replacement?

• Is it possible to replace the headlight in this unit? It has been intermittent this Christmas and now it’s totally out.
  
  And where can I source one from?  Also does the circuit board on the interior of the engine simply glue to the inside via some foam?  Seems as if I rip it off how do I put it back correctly?  Thanks on advance

  Thanks, do you know where I can source one?  And when I goggle that part number I get a picture that looks like a screw type bulb?  Peep Figure 7:

• Indeed every reference to that bulb number shows a screw base bulb.
  
  It may be possible you have a locomotive where the original screw base bulb was replaced with the grain-of-wheat bulb.
  
  Did you get the loco in a sealed box, or was it used?
  
  Here are 12-16 volt grain-of-wheat bulbs.

• Used is how I got it but it looks stock. Thanks. Grain of wheat ordered. Any idea if I can put a horn in here while I’m in there?

• Here is a small horn board, but you need to supply a speaker.
