LGB 20621 diesel (Schoema?) deceased

Initially, I wired the lights in so that both front and back were 'on' together but they seriously overheated. I assume that they are not intended to run at the full 18V and would have had their voltage reduced by the original board; the bulbs are the yellow screw-in type.

If they are genuine LGB the yellow screw-in type are 18V.
If they are running too hot and/or bright you could always wire two or three in series.

Good thinking I will try that and at the same time find a home for those 4 'extra' screws.

Rewired in series, the filaments barely glow! I think I will leave it as it is.
When I reassembled it after the soldering it felt strangely light.....dissasembled it and put the weights in!!!!!!!!!!! It helps!
At least I only have one spare screw now.
