Only thing I noticed unless you are not worried about it, is that these didn't have flashing ditchlights back when they had the strobes on the cab roof.
Since this is loksound, every light has a separate function (minus the marker lights as front and rear sets are wired in groups) and it's as simple as using a function button to activate it. I went for something more complicated tho and made it come on when the train went into emergency shutdown mode. I also added an emergency light in the cab to exemplify the mode.
Did you reprogram anything on the locomotive? I have the same model and I can't get the upper lights to flash except when the horn blows, also you have a cab light that mine doesn't seem to have and the emergency stop light I can not get to work at all. I use a Digitrak DCS 52 DCC system, and I've already reprogrammed the main lights to their brightest. I wonder if there is a cv I have to change for the cab light, and I want to put the emergency light on a function button that they are not using like F21/22.
@@tonyansill3093 keep in mind the stock motherboard on the dcc ready model does not have enough outputs to wire all the lights, I've replaced the stock board on mine with a Decoder Buddy V5 so i could utilize all the functions.
That even sound like the real 822 horn nice custom horn bro 100000-10
Wonderful Amtrak

Just had to rewatch some old footage to make sure, yep youre right, ill fix it later though, it still looks cool
How did you get the red light on in the center on the roof and the strobe lights to flash without using the horn?

oh i also forgot, instead of using the horn to activate the grade crossing lights, i use the bell

@@tonyansill3093 if you have the dcc sound equipped version, that would be a soundtraxx board and i cant really help you there, sorry
Is that a custom horn?
Yep! probably gonna change it out though, doesn't quite fit the bill, lol.
I’ll also be adding a custom horn to mine
