Bachmann Class 55 (32-529C) Control of Cab lights

[mjcbasingstoke]

I have just purchased the above loco and am currently running in. I have noticed that on DC that both cab lights are permanently on. Does this condition exist once a decoder is fitted? Is there a way of  independently controlling the cab lights? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Have fitted a decoder now and found that Function F1 switches the cab lights on and off. not ideal but at least they are not on when running.

Please consider this topic closed.

Thanks

I have the same problem with my Bachmann Class 40, both cab lights are on Aux 1, and my decoder is  a Zimo 644D  21 pin which has separate feeds to Aux 1 and Aux 2.

The Bachmann PCB is excellent and fully connects to all lights and the speaker via contact strips.

Can anyone advise which Pad Richard is referring to, I would love to be able to seperate the 2 cab lights, as I have done with all my fleet of Zimo equipped Diesels, courtesy of Paul Chetter and his help with Swiss Mapping and CV settings.

And whilst on the subject of Bachmann Class 40, can anyone suggest a speaker upgrade that would retain the PCB and not require massive canibalising of the chassis etc.....
