No red lights. I have never seen a real Re460 with high beam lights, all four low lamps shine the same way. Is the high beam real or a Marklin fancy function ? Thanks

They also have a single light above the driver's cab which also has a red light. I have seen Re 460s operating with only the two outer lights, with all four illuminated as well as with only one. I don't know why that lok was running at the front of a train with only one light on. As far as I know, each light has both low and hi-beams, which can be selected by the driver. The hi-beams have a longer focal distance than the low beams, enabling the driver to see further ahead than the normal lights. For the record, I have never seen the red light above the cab in use.

Joined: 28/03/2007(UTC) Posts: 283 Location: Torino,		I'm playing with headlights of my Re460s. The light arrangements (at real) I've found so far are 3 front white + 1 rear white - usual Swiss arrangement 3 front white/2 rear red for shuttle trains 2 front white + 2 rear white : shunting ? 1 front + 1 rear white for parking 3 front red + 3 rear red for emergency is this correct ? is there an arrangement with one red only ? please advise thanks regards
