Guys, I've searched online all over and I am unable to find replacement headlamps for my analog bachmann engines.

I've got a Spectrum Santa Fe F7 A & B, and I bit of oil ( I'm guessing ) got between the light wires and it burnt out in a flash.

My bachmann engine docs says its a part # 10015.

I also have a 4-8-4 Santa Fe, and it appears as if the lamps would be swappable, they mount the same and look to have the same physical space allowed, and the bulbs look identical.  That part number is N58002.

Same deal on both, NO DICE GOOGLING, EBAY-ING, or searching individual hobby sites.

Please help. That engineer needs to see !!

I'm new to all this DCC technology.

I just bought my first DCC Ready engine, a Bachmann 2-8-0 Consolidation N Scale, Unlettered.

I started with the empire builder set, analog controller.   I built up the track using Kato unitrack, and all is well with where I am with that.

So I was shocked when I put the new 2-8-0 on the track and it ran.  I read on some site that it was not recommended running it on a dc system, so I stopped.

Now I've read two separate statements, one on a  bachmann web page, and another on this forum, that it's just fine.

So can someone point me to a good DCC FAQ on what is different about DCC Ready versus an Analog Engine, and can someone recommend a good decoder for this engine ?

Thanks.
Jay
