So I asked about the Bachmann 2-8-0 and its factory installed decoder, what I meant to ask is what decoder is in the Bachmann 4-8-4 and again how can I control both head and rear light independently.  Ya-ll are right the 2-8-0 does not have a rear light on it.

 Ok, but still need more information. What type of controller are you using? Is the loco the Spectrum 4-8-4 with DCC on board or the 4-8-4 DCC with sound? One is the Lenz (no sound) type decoder, the other a Tsunami decoder specifically made for Bachmann. The more info you are willing to share, the more likely people will respond.

If you ever fall over in public, pick yourself up and say “sorry it’s been a while since I inhabited a body.” And just walk away.

 this is the standard 4-8-4 locomotive that was released with DCC on board.  I am using a MRC prodigy Advanced as my power.
