    The H button worked for me, I was outside the cab facing the front of when I pressed the H key and the lights turned on.

    Sorry that it seems not to be working for you, one suggestion is what type of keyboard you are using. I start with a wireless keyboard and mouse after I got TS2016 and had issues with keys not responding in time or at all. So I moved to a wired keyboard and mouse and never had a issue since then.

    Yeah, that's it for me.

    I'm not buying any more from DTG until they start making some more modern UK DLC. It's completely my choice but I've been buying every EU DLC for two years without once having anything I was genuinely excited about (APT was the last). My theory being that my money goes to ensuring even more content, some of which might be my thing. US, German and Swiss routes seem to outnumber UK so if that's the customer base DTG want (and more tiny segments of any route that uses DC Desiros) then that's what they'll get I guess.

    Most of my play-time has been on some superb Freeware routes, Just Trains last few releases and of course the excellent AP. Money is getting tighter, choices have to be made.

    also (L) key for cab light doesn't work in simple control, but works in expert.

    I find it funny that DTG are from the UK and have a huge following there but haven't released a really good modern UK route in eons. The last UK route we got was East Midlands Coal (not even made by DTG) and I think we all know just how bad that route turned out to be. Is a unique modern UK route too much to ask? SWML is pretty similar to the PDL in rolling stock and operations so something completely different would be incredible. How about something Scottish or Welsh?

    That's based on information you have or a guess that they're about to up their game?

    May I ask anyone here about this message. Why don't you start a new message about UK trains because TrainSim-James posted his message at the beginning of this message about The 4,300-horsepower Electro-Motive SD9043MAC diesel NOT UK trains. I think that you should start post a new message about UK trains. Because there's nothing to do with The 4,300-horsepower Electro-Motive SD9043MAC diesel. I kept reading and see that this message is way off with two different comments with one about new locomotive, The 4,300-horsepower Electro-Motive SD9043MAC diesel and other is about UK trains. Sorry for the rant but I think that it should be separated between two different comments.

    Have a good Sunday!
