Model Railroading > Custom Rapido Amtrak F40 Cab LightingDate: 01/22/23 19:30 Custom Rapido Amtrak F40 Cab Lighting Author: kecarden Working on the cab lights base off of a photo, using a old damaged Rapido shell to do some testing before I put it in the actual 2 F40 that I am working on. I know the lights are bright but once I get them in the actual units they will be dim down.

Most of the time the cab light is off unless reading some paperwork. Not sure why the engineer would have it on during daylight.
