N Scale Class 121 dummy lighting

[AndrueC]

Hi,

 

I have a class 121 dummy in Chiltern green. Unfortunately the lights show as white which is a bit unrealistic since it's always being towed. Is there an easy way to switch them to red without the expense of buying a decoder for it?

 

On a very related note: Does the powered 121 whine ever fade? It's far and away the noisiest loco I have and the only advantage is that it drowns out the sound of turnout motors operating.

Thank you, lol.

 

I bought it with the intention of it performing that loop in the background while the other trains took turns to strut their stuff. I'm hoping that after a few more daysweeksmonths running it might quieten down. The instructions did say to lubricate it first and I did that. There's enough oil on the gears for it to very slightly stain a tissue.
