Hello all, I just received the class 08 loco (39242). It is a very nice locomotive but one feature I was looking forward to is red tail lights. In the printed brochure it shows them. I am not sure if it is prototypical or not but I was looking forward to the "bling". Needless to say my new loco has no red tail light function.

So my question is - Does anyone know if this is a function on the final product or is mine defective?

I understand that the brochures are usually hand built samples for the photo shoot so the red tail lights might have been deleted in the final product for consumers if it was not prototypical.

Thanks

Rick

[Have a look at the clip. At about 9:32 it clearly show white rear lights. Red would have been a nice touch. Still waiting for mine

But it's Christmas & I want it all . Seriously I think a pinprick of red food colouring carefully applied to each tail light lens from outside would do the trick. The same way we used to dip the globe ends to get red / green for traffic lights instead of paying silly prices for green & red specific globes. Ok my Two cents worth. To all on the forum from me & the boys Downunder, have a merry Christmas & prosperous 2019.

Yes, hand-made sample. Better don't expect red rear lights with the series model.
