Hi everyone
I am Deaf , I come from NZ
I got 2 Athearn GP38-2 SP like that photo and I try to remove without class light front
Do you know how to remove without class light ?
Thanks ( SP Rule )
Might be a silly question but, why do you want to remove the light? Most of the time people seem to be wanting to add a light to make a loco conform to the SP image. Are the locos SP locos?
You might find that the best solution is to swap you SP locos for someone else's non-SP locos... You will then both be happy without having to do any carving.
Hope that this helps.

Do you see without no class lights short hood ( circle ) and other photo first top circle 2nd circle take off class lights that what I talk about
If I understand your question correctly, the light you are referring to is the one above the two clear-lenses. That was not a classification light, it was a red gyrating light that has been removed from all existing SP engines that were originally equipped with them. I know of no model that had a similar light. If you have one and want to remove it, do what SP did -- take the light out and cover the hole with a blanking plate.
He is refering to the circles that are to the left and right of the head and tail lights. That is where the class lights would normally be on the units pictured. I agree, just drill them out and fill the hole in with puddy and piant it over.
