Hornby Class 60 Lighting Configuration

[Superrams]

Hi Folks

 

I have recently purchased Hornby's Class 60 048 with sound,but i have just noticed that the light configuration is as follows :-

 

End 1

 

Non Drivers Side, Bright Headlight

Drivers Side, Semi Bright Headlight

Drivers Side, Sml Oblong light lit

 

End 2

 

Non Drivers Side, Bright Headlight

Drivers Side, No Semi Bright Headlight

Drivers Side, Sml oblong light lit

 

Why is the Semi Bright headlight not lit on one end,does anyone know

Is this normal?

 

I have tweeked the brass connections inside,but this has made no difference

Has anyone got a Hornby Class 60,and if so,is the light configuration of mine correct ?

 

Thanks

Hiya,

Not familiar with the Hornby model, but the real thing is like this:

One side has the bright headlight, with the other displaying the rectangular marker light. This photo shows the day setting, at night the positions are reversed.

The headlight on the same side as the marker light is not lit - could your semi-bright headlight be light bleed from the marker light on that side of the model?

HTH
