And so it begins...

OK, now I feel stupid 

There's no mention on the data sheet, and I couldn't see any when I took it apart to re-seat the decoder.  Definitely on the list to try tomorrow!

Don't worry ! When I started with DCC, I was randomly pressing buttons for ages try to do various things... Practice makes perfect  - I'm supprised the Farish instructions didn't mention the lights, try their website www.grahamfarish.co.uk for more info.

Thanks everyone for the pointers - turned the lights on this evening   Directional as well.  Colour me impressed, I thought this sort of thing might just be possible for a skilled modeller armed with a soldering iron - I didn't expect it out of the box from a "starter" set.  I've been sat in the conservatory in the dark - my wife thinks I've finally lost the plot

Glad to see you sussed it ! 

You watching trains in the dark will be the least of her worries.... Wait till you start doing the scenery !!!
