 I was unhappy with the headlight on my Athearn Challenger, since it was orange, not slightly off white or al least yellow. This is an easy task to fix the lights and if you care to change your's also. Purchase a 3mm diameter LED Ultra Bright Minatronics Part # 12-300-02 or you can get one of the Golden Bright 3mm from Loy's Toys. Anyway, if you want to know what is involved in this 30 minute replacement, let me know and I will put the directions on this Subject. By the way, the number boards look great also if you install a 560 Ohm resistor on each wire lead. The results are really fantantic. I would appreciate knowing if you are unhappy your Challenger lights and want to fix them. I have copied a web page from a friend that shows the results of this replacement. He repairs and modifies model trains, but you can see the results. It is not linked, but you can copy and paste it . http://www.regisdcctrains.com
