Köszi!

 

Lehet kapni melegfehér-piros duó ledet (de nem nálunk), de csak nornál kivitelt láttam eddig, a gépbe viszont csak smd fér bele.

Meg lehetne csinálni úgy is, hogy minden classification light mögött van egy fehér meg egy piros smd, de egy rendelkezésre álló funkció vezetékkel ez csak körülményesen menne.

Szóval szerintem kihagyom ezt a tuningot.

 

A numberboardra végülis mit mondtál, hogy azoknak is külön kapcsolhatónak kell lenniük?

 

 

 

Az alábbi anyagot még régebben találtam nem tudom hol, a szövegét eltettem:

 

Locomotive classification lights

      Classification signals - colored flags by day, lights by night - were
once used throughout North American railroading.

      U.S. railroads used a single light and outer lens, with colored lenses
in between that could be changed as needed. Canadian roads used three
separate lights; on diesels these were often located near the numberboards
on the front of locomotives.

      The purpose of classification lights was to help identify the train on
which they were displayed. The three colors and their meanings were as
follows:

      White. Indicated an "extra" train not shown in the timetable. For much
of railroad history, train-movement authority was granted by timetables. If
a train was listed in the timetable, it had the authority to operate
according to its printed schedule. Deviations from the timetable, such as a
train running late, were handled with train orders from the dispatcher.
Under this "timetable-and-train-order" system, it was important that trains
kept as close to schedule as possible, and that any special trains not shown
in the timetable be clearly identified as such with a white light. Many
freight trains operated as extras, and thus carried a white classification
signal.

      Green. Indicated that, while the train displaying the lights was a
regularly scheduled one, a second section was following behind it. This was
done, for example, when ridership demand exceeded the capacity of a single
passenger train. If there were too many passengers for a single section of,
say, New York Central's 20th Century Limited, a second section was operated,
and, if needed, a third, fourth, fifth, and even sixth. The engine of each
section except the last would display green lights. While each section was a
separate entity, the timetable's "train 25" would not be considered to have
passed a given point until the last section of the train had gone by. For
operational convenience, special trains that otherwise might have carried
white "extra" signals were sometimes operated as advance or second sections
of regular, but unrelated, trains.

      Red. Indicated the end of a train. A train, be it a single engine, a
group of engines, or an engine(s) with cars, must have a marker on the rear
end. In the (relatively rare) situations when the last element in a train
would be a locomotive, the red lights would be lit.

      Classification lights phased out

      The timetable-and-train-order system has been replaced by other forms
of movement authority, and classification lights are no longer used,
although older locomotives still have them.

      Some railroads (including Amtrak, and New Jersey Transit) still use
red marker lights, but most have done away with the extra items and just use
the headlight on a trailing locomotive as a marker.

      Emergency lights

      Several railroads over the years have elected to equip their
locomotives with emergency lights, which activate when an emergency brake
application is made. The Milwaukee Road, for example, had gyrating red
lights which the engineer manually activated in the event of an emergency
stop. Amtrak's F40PH-2s sported a small red lens front and center of the
engine between the numberboards that activated automatically in a flashing
mode when put into emergency.

      On Amtrak's modern 800-series P40 Genesis diesels, the middle of the
three small openings in the carbody above the windshield houses the red
light; the outer two house strobe lights that flash when the bell is rung.
(On older power, the strobes are separate elements located on the roof.)

      Most Amtrak units also have two red marker lights, which are lit when
the unit is on the trailing end of a train; twin-beam headlights and two
ditch lights are also provided.

      The F59PHI's used on West Coast corridor trains sport a unique
emergency flasher/marker arrangement: Of the two red lights found just
inboard of the ditch lights, one is the emergency flasher, the other is a
marker light.

      Amtrak's newest GE power, the 100-series P42s and 700-series
P32AC-DMs, lack both the red emergency light and the twin strobes.
