If you can do the front ones then its just a case of getting the azimuth (direction) right and using lights that will show when they are the back of the train only.

http://steam4me.railpage.org.au/trainsi ... tings.html has the settings and http://steam4me.railpage.org.au/trainsi ... hting.html is the tutorial you may have seen already.

Without knowing your specific issues, it might help if I explain how I've set up my EH2 class 87 with AI lights:

- front white AI lights when leading a train
- red rear AI lights when running light engine
- front red AL lights for when propelling a DVT set.

The AI lights are as follows:

Note the radii are reduced as I use a revised liteglow.ace (see http://steam4me.railpage.org.au/trainsi ... _glow.html)

Hope this helps - if you post something more detailed I can have a closer look.

Usual rules of backing up and counting lights and brackets apply!

cheers
