Got this caboose
The lights burnt out
Cannot get the bulbs out
Need to replace with LEDs
Does anyone have a parts list and schematic to upgrade this?
There are two red marker lights on the ends of the roof that still work, so I need to keep those functional.
As can be seen in the pics, the brackets that hold the light bulbs melted…
All help will be appreciated
Thanks.

Well, MTH parts did have the Premier breakdown and it also covers some of the Railking parts https://www.mthpartsandsales.c...lists/224?type=lists
Example, the melted clear holders are the same part between Premier and Railking.
I know it's not LED upgrade you asked about bu you may want or need some of these plastic parts since they were melted.
Also, searched and found replacement lamp sockets if yours are too melted 
I’m going to the LHS
See what can be done
if he has the parts
And it’s not too crazy of a cost
ill put some money into the local economy
if too much
ill do it myself
thanks for the info
Since this is apparently a one-off, how about this pre-wired LED harness from Evans.
The 3" wire lengths might be a tad short for your caboose, but perhaps some clever mounting, using the existing burned out "lamp posts" and aiming a couple LEDs toward the cupola would allow you to wire from the chassis/floor so you don't need a connector for removing the shell.
