| | | I have a question. Suppose I have a Metroliner (I wish!) that has a motor and working headlights in both engines. When the train is moving, will both engines' lights light up, or do only the lights light up for that direction? In other words, will (...) (25 years ago, 10-Dec-99, to lugnet.trains)

There is no all LEGO way to get 9V directional lighting at present that I am aware of. PS I (...) (25 years ago, 10-Dec-99, to lugnet.trains)

There are two kinds of Lego lights. #1 - While powered up, they shine constantly, with brightness in direct proportion to how much juice they are getting, i.e. a faster setting = more light.
