Preparing body and top cover; attaching decoder to motor

Optional - to illuminate the false headlamp, carefully remove the lens by saturating the lens and housing with Walthers Solvaset to loosen the lens glue, then remove by breaking the seam with a Xacto #12 blade (small curved). Drill the housing dead center with a number 61 drill bit. Remove enough plastic from the housing by drilling to accomodate a nano SMD LED (Surface Mount LED), available from Ngineering ( http://www.ngineering.com ). Use a 1/4 watt SMD 1,500 ohm resistor in series with the WHITE function wire. Coat the resistor with epoxy or similar adhesive to electrically insulate it.
