Oh yes, I just heard about those. ;)  In fact I called them this morning.  They can install lights for Bachmann Thomas, James, Percy, and Toby! ;D  When I have the money (From my recent summer job) I can buy them, I am interested in having both versions of all four models ;)

What I think would be neat is if the buffer light could be selectable to white or green with DCC.  Probably would take a white LED with red, blue, and green chips.  (I got in a train post with red / white / blue on the 4th of July!  Yeah!)

White meant it was a passenger train, and  green a cattle or goods train.

Basis: a downloaded book from Google Books: Rules_and_Regulations_for _the_conduct_ (of the traffic and the guidance of officers and the men in the service of the South Staffordshire Railway).  It was published circa 1860.
