Class 416 (2 EPB) Question

Recommended Posts

Hi all

 

Just a quick question regarding the Class 416 (2 EPB).

 

Can any one advise me to when the high intensity head light was added to this unit? I have seen many painted in the NSE livery that don't seem to have them? Any advice would be great as I am planning to have a Bachmann 2 EPB without the headlight painted up into the NSE livery.

 

Many thanks

ISTR proper headlights became a requirement BR-wide circa 1990. Before that no SR EMUs had any light at the front except the headcode AFAIK.

 

Many thanks for your super quick reply Oldddudders very much appreciated. 

 

Looks like my EPB is off the the paint shop then!!

 

All the best

The majority of BR designed 2EPB's in NSE were the facelifted examples from the series 6401-6418.  Internally they were open throughout and had fluorescent lighting.  A modification of the interior of the trailer car will be required if you wish to go down that route.  I did so with one of mine.  See post 181 from here:
