When I run the loco the front lights are constantly on. This happens with my old delta set up as well. The lights do not change over with direction. When I use the ms2 to digitally turn on the lights, only the rear can be turned on/off when the loco is in reverse, the front lights remain on. In forward mode turning the lites on/off with the ms2 has no effect, the front lights are a always on. Any ideas?

I haven't got around to changing it yet, but I will have to at some point. Meanwhile I took the bulb out of the holder and run the loco with the other end leading!

If you do that you'll also have to reverse the wires to the motor, otherwise the lights will be on when running in the wrong direction!
