Thanks.  So, for the archives in case anyone searches light replacements etc.this is what I found and this is what I did. P2K Heritage 0-6-0 inexpensive on eBay, but with no tender.  I like these and have several more of various sizes. What I found... <img src="http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u172/dcrane_2007/what%20I%20found-600_zpsy9pdbr2b.jpg" alt=" " /> Test leads for correct polarity for LED <img src="http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u172/dcrane_2007/test%20for%20lead%20for%20correct%20polarity%20on%20LED-600_zpsth6g6kde.jpg" alt=" " />   What I did, eesy peesy.  Easiest bulb replacement possible <img src="http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u172/dcrane_2007/easy%20peesy%20LED%20install%20small-600_zpsvfi2mrjy.jpg" alt=" " />   Hardwire in the decoder because the tender is not a match and no socket is available.  I had other connectors, but chose to just solder up everything for a good contact. <img src="http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u172/dcrane_2007/then%20the%20rest%20wired%20in%20small-600_zpsa8wbopgf.jpg" alt=" " />   Used coupler instead of drawbar <img src="http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u172/dcrane_2007/keep%20coupler%202%20small-600_zpssa3ffw2e.jpg" alt=" " />   Tender needed metal wheels and pickups....here from club soda cans (nothing sticky inside). <img src="http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u172/dcrane_2007/pickups%20small-600_zpsssbj0po3.jpg" alt=" " />   Was even able to add light pipe and LED rear light to the inexpensive tender sent along by the eBay seller generously for free.  Quite fiddly though....took some time.  Also hand rail added. <img src="http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u172/dcrane_2007/rear%20light%20small-600_zpszkwonhop.jpg" alt=" " />   But now have a good little bargain log hauler and yard engine....good quality loco. <img src="http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u172/dcrane_2007/Hauling%20logs%20small_zps0j6lufsj.jpg" alt=" " /> <img src="http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u172/dcrane_2007/front%20light%20small-600_zpsg9gasifb.jpg" alt=" " /> Thanks for your help about getting to the light.  No damage done that way.  I also used a little plastic-safe lube to pry off the smoke box cover.  This is an old model and was sticky.
