Thought you might like this photo of 302 by Chris Nervard. I mistyped its number on the thread title!

The light at the end of the tunnel is, in fact, the train comming towards you :o

Very nice John, and well done Chris.

I wasn't aware that such good lighting was achievable in 009.  How is this done and is there a red tail lamp at the other end?  Also do you have lighting on the steam engines as well?

My equipment is DCC so yes, I have reversing tail/head lights. LEDs are used and scale sized lights are available from DCC Supplies, made by DCC Concepts in OZ. Resistors have to be used. My steam engines are also fitted. Those designed to work in night scenes also have red glow from the firebox.

Nice photo, and interesting to see the drive belt on the clear view screen. Scenic detail: present and correct!

It is interesting that this thread has come to life after so long. In fact, railcar 302 is now only a backup as it is largely replaced by the new silver units.
