How to Set Up Reversible Directional Lighting for Two-Way Trains

Setting Up Lights for Dual-Direction Travel

For push-pull trains or switchers that travel back and forth along the same track, configure directional lighting on both ends before assembly:

1. Place forward-facing light blocks on the front locomotive end.

2. Place rear-facing light blocks on the opposite end of the train build.

3. Take the build to a train station block and assemble the structure into a train contraption.

Operating Automatic Direction Swapping

The mod manages lighting modes dynamically without requiring manual adjustments when you switch cabs or reverse gears:

1. Drive the train forward. The leading fixtures automatically project bright white beams along the railway, while the trailing fixtures display red marker lights.

2. Bring the train to a halt on the tracks.

3. Engage reverse travel to head in the opposite direction.

4. Watch the light fixtures swap modes automatically: the previous headlights immediately switch to red tail lights, and the rear fixtures switch to projecting white beams in your new direction of travel.
