Stltrains, The (new) Genesis SD70MAC’s are DCC ready, just plug in a decoder and run. If you’re talking about the genesis SD70M/I or SD75, use resistors as Nigel advises. I recently put some 14V bulbs (my LHS didn’t had 12V as LL recommended) in a P2K GP38-2, but I didn’t like the way it lighted up the cabin. (far to bright ) So I toke an old credit card adjusted it to fit in the cabin and glue it under the light holder, in order to keep the light from leaking in to the cabin. Its looked fine at start, but since the piece of credit card was very close to the bulb I wanted to make sure it didn’t melt, so left the light on for about half an hour. Well….., guess I was lucky to be around because the piece of credit card is still ok, but the cabin shell started to melt en it looks now as if someone throw an piece of rock on the cabin from a bridge or so. So I am going to replace the bulbs of all my P2K stuff with LED’s. Best regards Cor
