28076 Nickel Plate 2 6 6 2 TMCC version

Reprogram the engine and use AUX code 74 if your engine has an IR drawbar.    If you would give the item number, the headlight number can be confirmed.  

Thanks Marty,

I am planned to try the reset today. If it doesn’t work I’ll let you know. Hopefully I can get some directions on how to get to the lamp in order to replace it here on the forum.

Take Care,

Richard

Richard, almost always the shell has to come off to replace the lamp in order disconnect a connector. The lamp itself usually slides back from its housing. Sometimes its held in with a rubber grommet. 

Also the part number you show is the cab light. The headlight is this item.

BTW this headlight as well as the bi pin cab light is used in scores of Lionel engines. You can spread out the cost of shipping by ordering other consumables like this including traction tires, smoke resistors and smoke batting. Lionel charges 10 bucks for shipping if you buy one item or many dozens of items.

Thanks Peter

The Lionel parts list for this engine is very  cryptic with no diagram to indicate the location of the part on the engine.

Hopefully the engine reset will fix the problem, but I doubt it.

I appreciate your help!

 Thanks,

Richard

Richard,

Easy to do as you do not have to take the shell but have to take the front truck. One slotted screw that holds a small bracket and spring there. You should be able to lift it off from there. You might have to loosen the bracket that holds the truck to the frame loosening those 2 screws.

I think the headlight is attached to a plug there near the smoke unit.
