Love that, takes me back to Doncaster when I was a kid!

In the first instance remove the body and look into the bogie tower access windows on the side of the chassis and see if any of the worm cover cap clips have popped loose. If any are not clipped down they can easily be clipped back in place with a small flathead screwdriver. Feel free to contact us via email if you need further guidance. Regards Cav

Yeah your auto cab light thing is very odd, that implies that the driver turns his cab light on every time he stops his loco, which he doesn't. Hell with my modellers hat on rather than company one, I personally would be happy with no cab light at all as it's not that often turned on and then only at night.

That's useful, so do you think that the light working automatically, without the driver pressing a function, is the way to go?

It's not prototypical though is it? As the driver has to manually turn the master switch off for it to go out. It's not a case of if the loco stops it goes out.

No that would be done in software on the decoder if we implement that.

The lighting has to be on additional Aux connections or else you cannot work them independently.

We are looking in how to best represent this. It's not a case of the light going off every time the loco stops but only when the master switch is put in neutral. In effect on the model it would just be a function button that turns the headlight on and off. The loco has day, night, yard and stabling modes on functions anyway so do we have it go out automatically whenever you stop or just have a manual headlight function button labelled master switch? Thoughts?

The lighting setout is complex and not set up out of the box. We recommend a Lokpilot with the custom.file installed from the ESU website in order to work all functions. Which gaugemaster decoder are you using?

They have a chap who does it for them in house. Not sure what his name is.

The file is available free of charge on the ESU website if you are able to blow your own decoders or you can order a pre blown decoder from our retailers or Road and Rails.

Love that.
