I'm a member of Orange County Module Railroaders, The club sets up the layout and does about 8-10 shows every year, but since I always pick the shows that are close to home, none of my Athearn/Athearn Genesis locomotives have burned a headlight yet. Smile

I guess I've just been getting lucky so far...

I do not think that this has been mentioned yet; if yes, I apologize.

Not to worry... Smile

It was first mentioned in a November 2016 thread:

Still, it is sure welcomed news for me. I still have about two-dozen Genesis locomotives with burned out bulbs I have to replace Bang Head

Cheers! Ed

I do not think that this has been mentioned yet; if yes, I apologize. It seems that Athearn finally listened to all customers who hated their little incandescent bulbs. According to the newest announcement

new models come with LEDs.
