snick:wav: , i am sorry, i do not have one of Athearns new F units:frowns: , but i DO know this: the REAL F&E units had the mars lights on top, the running light is the lower one:winki: . BTW, F&E units DO NOT have "ditch lights", they do have "classification lights", but i highly doubt Athearn has made them workable.
have you taken the shell off yet? does it have separate lights run to BOTH the upper and lower front lights?, or is the light source shared between the two?
what kind of sound decoder is in it(MRC is what i think Athearn uses, but not sure)?
if you give me the answers to these questions, it will help in finding the answer to your question:winki: .
