Headlight on Davenport 0-4-0

Hey Mr Bach Man

How can I get the headlight on the Davenport to stay on in both directions?

I don't have one in front of me in order to see the wiring, but you can check the following:

If the headlight is wired to the white (front headlight) and blue (common for functions)leads from the decoder, add the yellow (rear light) lead from the decoder (if it has one) to the white lead so that it will stay on in both directions.

That's what I did and it works just fine.

Thanks very kindly.  I was hoping it could be done by programming CV's, but apparently not with these simple decoders.  Stripping, soldering & insulating those tiny wires is a PIA.
