Athearn's bulbs and cables

[torikoos]

I've replaced every set of Athearn bulbs with micro LED's.
This is my supplier:

I feed them in from the outside, adding a little drop of Micro Kristal Klear in the hole where the original bulb was, this will prevent the LED to fall as it is somewhat sticky.
I carefully maneuver the LED in place and add another drop of MKK with a toothpick and carefully wipe away any spills and let dry.
The following day I have super bright, warm white bulbs, that will last a lifetime.

And to show what kind of light comes of these little led's, see this picture, which shows my detailed and painted SP GP9 almost head on, with Gyralight just reaching full strength. :-)
