However, the headlights do not switch when direction is reversed. They remain red all the time regardless of direction of travel. Looking at the bogies, I don't see the typical flip switch I am used to seeing on these control cab coaches from the past. There appears to be only two ground plates and of course a slider. I'll post a photo soon. How does the headlight direction switching function work now? Cheers,

That solved the problem for me. It doesn't say 'decoder ' direction change in my manual, I missed the obvious! Don
