    If this is the OG SD40 in "stripe" livery, it carried over the same problem from its Clinchfield original: the light controls do not work properly even on a single engine.

    If it's the SD40-2, then you need to set up both the lead and trailing engines, not just the lead (of course, if there is a consist behind them, the trailing engine wouldn't have lights on)

    If you mean an engine at the back of the train, unconnected from the lead, then it is independent and cannot be controlled remotely.

    hi there thanks for the reply its the sd40-2 on the sand patch grade that came with the game originally before the expansions not the sd40 that's on clinch filed that works fine i have the lead setup as controlling unit at long hood end and the trailing unit set to controlling from unit at either end on the same lashup like two engines connected with each other like tow in the front for example its in the sd40-2 YN3B

    Hmm. I've never had any problems with the SD40-2 and very similar GP38-2: lead engine set to "Controlling coupled at long hood end", trail set to "controlled either end." From that point the lead loco's front and rear headlight controls should govern both .
