Hi there is there two different functions for the light like on/off bing one andn/ dim or side lamp i cant remember brcause usually there are only one function but in your other video of a 153 the lights changed somehow so i was wandering if all 153 can do that ill sub if u comment thanks

@reviewerashley it's basically white lights as it comes towards you and red as it goes away. There's no switch anywhere to alter this - it's fixed. The lights are realistic and do reflect how they operate in real life.

I searched 153 on Hornby's website and the East Midlands 153 didn't come up, does this mean its been discontinued? If it has that's a real shame 'cause I really wanted one.

@TheBazza909 check out other places online, including Amazon and Google.

How well does it cope with second radius curves? I've heard that Hornby's 153s don't like second radius curves, is this true?

I have a Northern Rail Class 153 and they are fab!!

@InterCity82 I tried that and found an unopened one on Rushvic Models for £75
