I like this engine alot but disappointed with a few things. 1.no alternating ditch lights. 2.since not a true tsunami a sheet of all CVs should have been included. 3.when pressing the horn and releasing, it still plays for 1 second. 4.grab irons should have been included in a package for self install.
Matthew,
When viewed straight-on, the ditch lights are sufficiently bright. As the text says, they can be programmed to flash when the horn is blown, prototypical for some roads, or programmed not to blink.
Hi. The text on the screen said the ditch lights can be programmed to flash when the horn is blown…
The ditch lights only flash together when programmed to flash with the horn, if you have the new model railroader book, it tells you how to program a couple of things. The sound track de coders are hard to program also.
Engine RPM seems to lag behind locomotive movement, but it is an impressive looking model.
Hi Matthew,
If you read the review you’ll note that the ditch lights can’t be programmed to flash alternately, only simultaneously. The dimness is a matter of the video camera. The lights themselves are as bright as the headlight.
Thanks for watching!

Both of those ditch lights are wired to the same function, so no wig wagging
Hmmm…those ditch lights sure are dim. And what’s up with that flash pattern when the horn is blown? Either that was a programming error or that decoder is lower-quality than I thought.
