Lately I seem to be spending more time doing electrical repair work than running trains. Now another one of my locos is failing.
The headlight on my Atlas GP38 has stopped working. I don't know if its because of the LED being burned-out or the decoder itself being bad (the motor and sound controls are working fine). Is it common for LEDs to burn out the way filament bulbs do, or do I need to buy a new decoder? It's a SounTraxx AT100 LC series 1st generation decoder (reputed to be junk, but mine has worked for ~4 years).
