Changing headlight bulbs

[ttburnie]

How do I put in a new headlight bulb in the g scale shay??  Rather than just starting to pry things apart, I thought I'd ask first!!  Is it a bulb that plugs in or a 'grain of wheat' type bulb that has to have the new wires attached to the old wire leads?

Type of bulb depends on which version of the Shay you have.  Could be either an incandescent or LED.  The headlight is held to its base by two tabs that "snap" into the headlight base.  Depress the tabs just slightly and the headlight will be free of the base.  From that point you can proceed with changing the bulb.
