ATHEARN BULB REPLACEMENT UPGRADE

[hr12]

HELLO GROUP. I AM BUILDING AN HO UTAH RR MK50-3, #5005. I REALLY DON'T WANT TO INVEST IN LED LIGHTING AS I AM NOT AN ELECTRONICS WIZ AND HAVE ZERO EXPERIENCE WITH SOLDERING. AND LETS FACE IT, ATHEARN LITE BULB BRIGHTNESS IS WAAAAY ON THE LOW END, AND THEY DONT SEEM TO LAST LONG. I'D LIKE TO TRY CIRCUITRON OR MINIATRONICS BULBS AS A DIRECT REPLACEMENT TO THE ATHEARN BULBS. I AM USING A GN1000 TSUNAMI BOARD, SO LIGHTING IS 1.5v FOR THE HEADLIGHTS AND DITCH LITES. CAN ANYONE COMMENT ON CIRCUITRON, MINIATRONICS, OR ANOTHER BRAND TO REPLACE THE ATHEARN?? THANKS!

I've used miniatronics in the past with great success.

I use Miniatronics exclusively when a client requests bulbs. After years of operation, they are still working.
