<p>I have 2 of the LL P2k E7s. Toss the boards. On mine they used regular resistors which blocked the installation of an 8 pin decoder. I ended up using an NCE D13SRJ for mine. Also toss the bulb and install a LED. They are relatively cheap and will probably last longer than you own the locomotive, plus if not properly regulated, that bulb will turn the front of your E7 into molten plastic slag. I would also recommend testing it to see if the gears on the axles are stripped (attempt to roll the drive wheels with a finger, if they roll pick up a set of Athearn SD40-2/2T gears, they fit right in). </p> <p>Edit: There is space for a TCS WOW Diesel with Keep Alive and a speaker.</p>
