Well, now I am even more confused. I don't like the look of the "glowing cab" of my Athearn locos. Right now they are DC, but I am converting to DCC. I want to have better lighting effects, but don't know what to do. I have seen pages and pages of expensive lighting kits at Walthers, but all I want to do is have the headlights light without lighting the cab. Can't I purchase a 12 volt (or similar) LED of the same diameter as the hole in the nose of my locos and wire it in? What have you guys done with your Athearns "on the cheap"? <br />Tim
