Interior Lights And Number Boards; Checking And Adjusting Your Rdc - Rapido Trains RDC 6133 Operating Handbook

move the shell before drilling. The ditch light LEDs are immediately behind the
carbody and even the slightest punch through will damage them, and then you'll
need to contact us about repair options. If you already read the note about the
Gyralite above, this is your second warning. Don't make us go for the hat trick!
• Northern Pacific Pilot cover. NP had a differ-
ent style of pilot cover than most other RDCs.
We've included it as a separate part as there
are photos that show it without the cover. Align
it as shown in the illustration at right.
• Rock Island Sun Shade. Some of us will admit
that this might be a little over the top, but we're
sure that the engineers were happy to have this
on a hot summer day. The sun shade wasn't
always on the unit, and in fact, we've only seen
one or two photos to prove its existence. Drill-
ing two small holes for the support rods isn't
necessary, but does make the part more stable
in the event it's bumped. Use a small amount of
CA to mount this to the side of your RDC. We
suggest doing some clearance testing too, as
the part does protrude off the side of the car-
body considerably.
• Extra extra bits. We include extra windshield wipers and door handles in case
one of yours gets beamed to the moon.

INTERIOR LIGHTS AND NUMBER BOARDS

We heard you loud and clear after our first production run. "Why can't I turn the interior
lights and number boards off?" Well the simple answer for that was technology just still
hasn't gotten far enough, as we ran out of functions on the circuit board. Well, who says
you need state-of-the-art technology when we can go back to how Rapido revolutionized
interior lighting ... with the Rapido Lighter! Just wave the magnetic wand over the long
end of the RDC roof (that's the end with six windows instead of five) and you'll toggle the
lights on and off ... on and off ... on and off ... Sheer brilliance! The switch is hidden in
there. Wave the Lighter close to the roof until you find it.

CHECKING AND ADJUSTING YOUR RDC

We try and make sure that every model is perfectly up to spec before it leaves the fac-
