Ditch Lights
Posted by Anonymous on Friday, December 31, 2004 6:34 PM
The other day I was running my ATSF Dash 9 and noticed the right front ditch light wasn't working. Has anyone out there ever had to repair or replace one of these ?

I don't even know what a ditch light is, do you ahve any idea what the English or better still the Australian name for this is?

However my Mallet looses lightas evey now and then and it is simple to take the little cover off and replace the tail end of the lamp back in its socket.

In any case i only answered this thread because no one else has.

Happy New Year

they are the two lower lights on this engine.

let us know when you find out how to replace them
Thanks

Is it REAL? or Just 1:29 scale?

I'll have to call Aristocraft this week and see what they say . It's no big deal if it don't work cuz i'm sure even on the real engines these burn out from time to time.
