Lionel 8516 Switcher

Late in the MPC production era, Lionel made a set called The Yard Chief, headed by a 0-4-0 NYC Switcher. The engine itself runs good, has a back-up light, and is one of the best smokers from Lionel that I have ever seen.

However the headlight went out, and according to the set paperwork the light can only be replaced by a service station. Does anyone have any experience with this engine?? I am trying to figure out if I should attempt to change the light, or take it in.

Hi Ken

Jump in with both feet. It’s not a hard job, But you will need to solder it. The part # you need is 600-2312-009
