Right all the loco are practially done, but I've hit a problem with the NAA Van. When on the rear and you press the headlights once the red lights come on, which is fine. But when you put the headlights to 'full' they also turn into headlights when they should stay red.

As im not an expert with lights, if someone could give me some guidence on what to do, or have a look at them, it would be much apperciated.

Will this pack support MSTS Bin from the start so I could drive with the loco between London Kings Cross and York/Leeds and change cab ends for the return journey?

The NAA is not a driving coach.
It only sends control signals to the driver in the loco.

It was designed for propelling out of Wembley depot.
A second driver is required to operate it.

If it's got buffers it's Chain.

Im guessing the SR Class 421 cab would be closest thats available freeware? It wouldnt hurt to give it a cab. With binpatch you can just as easily change once the reversings been done! As for the lights, I spent ages tweaking the lights on the Class 315s, I could have a look if you want to send me the .eng/.wag file Anton? No garuntees Ill be able to do much, Im sure i worked out how to change the colours though...

you have a Pm, like I say though I can change the colours so that the rear lights will be red and shine out of the right bulbs when the headlights are set to full, but getting it work with the binpatch is way over my head!
