Hi guys, A question for a D stock buff or train op really. Is there any light indication in the D stock cab to tell the driver the traction current has cutout when running over a railgap? I mean, does a light stay lit up while the traction current is on, then go off momentarily while the current is off? If so, could someone please point it out to me. Cheers,  |

We do not have traction current indicators!! What we do have are MA indicators which can give a fair idea of wether traction current is present, but that's as good as it gets. On D stocks, the MA indicators are on the off side front corner post. This low quality image from my website shows them. They are the two blue lights at the top of the corner post. |

Ah OK, from that photo, it looks like the wont be visible on my BVE4 cab. Cheers all the same. |
