Seeking Advice on Constant Lighting for Athearn loco's ?

Hello group, :(

Can someone please give me some step-by-step instructions on installing front headlights, ditchlights and possibly a roof strobe for Athearn powered and dummy loco's?

I hear by using 1.5v. bulbs, a magnetic reed sweitch and AA or AAA batteries will do the trick.

Can someone explain the installation?

Thank You

Neal ( Electonic Novice )

Most REASONABLE Athearn lighting kit is JSR @ $10 from Caboose Hobbies (Denver).

IF you want STROBE or any flashing sequences, other brands supply but price can quadruple, But that's the way it is.

BEST is HYPERLIGHT and RICHMOND CONTROLS.
