Can we make a whole bunch of suggestions?

My layout is tighter and steeper than a witches hiney, so i need tighter turning and lighter rolling stock, savvy?

How about shorty passenger cars and excursion cars in standard and short versions, more work cars, blacksmittys, MOW, tool and a wood water car. I guess you all will make us wait til next year to get us a log skidder like the tiny folk got this year?  Some variety in rail trucks, a ford model t inspection car like Accucraft in G scale would look tidy next to the  Pierce Arrow.

And a bone to pick,  a skeleton log car that dosnt need surgery to make tight turns,  thought it was me til I talked to a seasoned On30 vet and he told me the frame needs to be ground to make clearance for the wheels to turn properly, on a log car voted best of the class?
 
Keep up the great work B Mann, Railbus is awesome, just remember the details make the model.

On30 / DCC Lighting

hey Bach Mann  need your help

Have built a Logging speeder cab using a DCC eqwipped side rod  Davenport, Bachmann of course! Have switched the units nose for tail, the cab is facing rearward now. Of course the directional eqwipped headlight only works when going backwards, everythiong was going great then I hit the rocket science wall, long story short I am sitting here with a cab that has a burnt out bulb from trying to wire it directly to track voltage, wouldnt mind having a non directional headlight but that brings us back to original qwestion, does this side rod have a way to run directional lighting in both directions? ditto for all bachmann DCC Locos?
any help will be appreciated
thank you kindly
