All Engines Go

Lamps are devices that engines use at their front to light their path at night or in dark conditions. Tail-lamps are red lights hung on the back of engines and brake vans so that they can be seen from behind.

Almost all of the North Western Railway, Skarloey Railway, Arlesdale Railway and Culdee Fell Railway steam engines are fitted with white headlamps, which are usually placed on either the left lamp-iron or the top of their smokebox. Steam engines from the Mainland, such as Flying Scotsman and Stepney, are often fitted with LNER headlamps, while diesel engines are usually fitted with DRG box-style lamps or built-in ones.
