G Gauge coal car

Anyone know when the light on the coal cars comes on. Does it have to have the 9 volt battery installed to light it up.

The tender light runs is powered by the track pick ups.

Must be broke then, no light. Engine light is on.

Recently there was a thread with a similar question.  The answer was that it is a dummy light on the tender.  Some engines have an operating light and others have a dummy.  Look for a light bulb in the lamp or wires leading to the lamp housing.

PS it would help if you gave us the model number and a description.  A specific answer might then be forthcoming.

Here is a link to,the thread.

The link doesn't appear to work, for me.  There should be enough information to locate it through your browser.  It is in the large scale forum.
