5) You can now replace the
bulbs by pushing the socket
up from the bulb holder and
pull the bulb from its socket.
Replace the middle bulb
simply by pulling it from its
socket. Replace with a new
one, and reverse the steps to
reassemble the caboose. To
replace the two red LED
lights at the end of the
caboose follow steps 1- 4,
above, and 6-7 on the
following page.
3) To be able to separate the
interior from the shell you need
to remove the step platform
from both ends. In order to do
this you need to loosen the
Ladder from the Catwalk. You
must do this carefully so that
you don't scratch the paint on
the roof of the caboose. First
remove the ladder from the
Catwalk by pulling the ladder
upward and outward. You can
then remove the step
platforms.
4) With the step platforms
removed you can then lower
the interior from the shell (to
completely remove the body
from the interior, go to Step 6
which is found on the back
page).
You can obtain replacement bulbs directly from the M.T.H. Parts Department
