Just make sure you use PSC's headlight rather thanthe old Cary (Bowser)
casting. Precision Scale's version is fully cored (including number
boards) with a separate backplate, while the Bowser casting is solid &
would have to be drilled out. There is lots of room in there for bulb,
diode, fiber optics or a very small fairy with pixie dust . . . . .
