Model Railroading > Weak headlights on Athearn '40Date: 07/24/16 16:19 Weak headlights on Athearn '40 Author: upbuddyboy I bot an MRL ready to roll loco and the headlights don't light up until higher speeds but the back up lights are bright....any ideas why or how to correct this in DC?

If new front bulbs are bright, then the problem is with the bulbs that were in front. But if the front ones stay dim after the swap, then there is a issue with the board.

These are low Voltage so when they are maxed out in DCC they will last longer. You and I running DC are not using max power as in the dcc mode so..we have barely lit lights.
