Do any of you think that the headlights on all new car orders should be a projector (polyellipsodial) lamp instead of a tungsten-halogen lamp? It would light up the tracks better (and they don't blind oncoming T/Os) and they generally look better. It's funny how the tail marker on the R160 is of a more advanced nature than the headlight. Also, some train lights questions:
1. Why is it that on a lot of old SMEEs (like the R40/R42 for example) the taillights aren't lit when outdoors? Below is an example:
2. Do operators ever shut off the headlights so as not to blind an oncoming T/O? If so, how?
Really OT but what does the R160 reverser key look like?
