Southern Pacific modelers ......
I ran an Athearn Southern Pacific MP15AC on my friends HO layout (similar to the engine in the below Rrpicturearchives photo). I was able to operate the different lights independently with his DCC controller. The two headlights on the right side glow steady. When I activated the two headlights on the left, they flashed. And, I could activate the center red light, but it also flashed, it did not glow steady.
Did (does) SP use the different headlights for different circumstances?
Also, "Hot Water" stated in another thread that I was wrong saying that most of Southern Pacific's MP15's were AC units. SP purchased 12 MP15DC's (#2690-2701) from EMD, and purchased 58 MP15AC's (#2702-2759). Is that not correct? Or, do I misunderstand something?
Thanks
Jim
