Bowser SD40-2F Numberboard upgrade

Description

Our BWS-LB1 lighting upgrade for the Bowser SD40-2F is just the thing you need to add just a bit more functionality to your Bowser SD40-2F.  On the models as shipped from Bowser, the headlight is also electrically connected to the numberboards.  This means that, whenever the headlight comes on, so to do the numberboards.  Same with if the headlight turns off, and it isn’t possible to change that.  On the standard SD40-2s, it’s possible to separate the numberboards and headlight through modifying the decoder configuration.  Because of the internal design of the 2F, this no longer works.

Our upgrade gives you separate control over the numberboards.  You can have them on all the time, only when the headlight or backup light is on, you can have them flash, you can have them pulse.  No, sorry, you can’t get them to dance.  We don’t offer that functionality.

The upgrade kit includes all the parts you need, and you just need some time with your soldering iron and to program a few CVs to get it to work.  We’ve even got a full instruction document, with pictures, to help you out!
