Headlight on my RK 2-8-0 (proto 2, 3v) headlight is off. Is there a command to turn it on? I can not find one, If not, I got the shell off but could not get the light bulb out (instructions say to turn it cclockwise but I can not get it to move). Any tips for me?

Yes, you have a HDLT button (#7). If this is the screw in version sometimes they loose contact. Scrape off the locktite holding bulb to base. Unscrew. Clean tip and re seat tight. If that fixes it your set. The bulb can be tested with 6V or short duration 9V or use the 2.4V battery in your engine. G

Not aware of rectangular bulbs. They normally (for PS-2 3V RTR) are a 6V small screw base. G
