The bulbs should be wired to the board with wire leads.  The wire leads have to be de-soldered from the pc board and the replacements soldered to the same location.

I've seen all variants of the drives and pc boards but I haven't seen any of the pc boards where the leds are directly on them.  I'm assuming you mean that there's no easy way to remove the wires without soldering :-\

I have thrown away the board that was in the dummy engine but the bulbs were made onto the board without wires and they were square
