MTH NYC Madison Passenger Cars 6210/11/12/13 | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Just picked up a set of these cars. I want to access the interior of the cars specifically to change the bulbs.
Read a couple of things online about removing screws and twisting

Problem I have is that some of the screws are accessed through a hole in the floor of the car - Question is how do you tighten these screws back in after reassembly (or do they just need to be backed out without removing completely?)

PS if anyone knows bulb # I would need it would be appreciated- repair booklet I found from MTH online did not have bulb number??

thank you

Thank u John

it did help - I saw those recessed screws but couldn’t figure out how to get the screws back into the recessed areas after removing them - but figured if no one else voiced that concern them there must be a way

removed the screws / top popped off

see now that there are sides to the recessed area that will guide the screw back down

now just have to find bulbs?

thank you

Mark,

I am pretty sure he can get these and reuse the white plastic socket from the old one:
