Replacing Lionel cab light | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Larry MullenOGR Forum Member

Have a Lionel 38056 M1a and I can only get the cab light (bulb) so far into the socket. Any tips on the install of these bulbs? I installed the grommet first and then tried putting the bulb in, but it's like I can only the 1/3 of the bulb through. Then I tried putting the bulb through grommet and installing the combo but that seemed to be even more difficult. Maybe I just need to try, try again.?

Thank you.

Put a drop of oil on the bulb and the grommet (installed on the engine) then slide the bulb in.

Twisting the bulb as it goes in frequently makes it easier to get them in.
