South Bay BW9's Gyra Light

Steam Nut
I'm not sure when (probably SP2) but the BW9's in the South Bay loco pack have goofed. The Gyra-light face's into the loco instead of out.
 
This is the same error as two of the lights of the container cranes on American Intermodal Route.
They shine in the wrong direction, not forward but backwards.
Annoying...

For the BW9's you can shut it off so you don't see it anymore.

In config.txt under "extensions" change the "gyra" "1" to "gyra" "0".

For the time being this shut off option will do fine till someone comes with a better repair solution.

:(
 
if you know and are willing to you could edit the attachment points and rotate the points 180 degrees that might make the corona face the right way
 
Strange thing is...

Why was it shining in the right direction before SP2?

Why is the normal headlight not turned around?

 
It's an old one, but the ditch lights of all the BW9's do work just fine after an update to SP3 (94217)

I changed config.txt under "extensions" the line "gyra" "0" back to "gyra" "1" and all the BW9's are OK.

We will have an extra BW9 in JR's latest (pre order) route "Eagle River Railway"

Yummy!

One of my favorite loco's.
