gwr 5600 TOOL BOX?????????????

[OldProf]

Okay, I have taken my own advice and read the manual for the GRW 5600 locomotive, but I'm confounded by how to open the toolbox, which is the only way to set lanterns for this absurdly complicated machine. This is all the manual has to say on the subject:

"13. Tool box
To the drivers [sic]rear is a toolbox. Usually this contains vital safety equipment such as a large hammer,
pincers, packed lunch etc. However the 56xx has a hidden secret. Firstly, ensure you are stationary
(do you know how hard it is to put oil lamps on the front of a train whilst it’s moving?) and open the
tool box. Note: opening this will clear any lamp configuration set by the scenario writer. To set the
lamps correctly to the configuration of your train, move the oil lamp slider at the top to set the
colour of you oil lamp casing (white bodies were common only after the mid-1930s).
The sliders near the bottom display either white lenses or red lenses. Red lenses should be at the
rear only if you are driving light engine, or at the front of the locomotive if you are driving light
engine rearward. The red lensed lamp should be on the rear of the train. For the most part then, we
will be using white lensed lamps on the front or rear of the locomotive, depending on whether you
are hauling with the front, or rear of the locomotive moving forwards. Confused? Don’t be.
Configuration of the lamps should be the same whichever direction is leading. Just make sure you
take them off the locomotive as you change direction. To light the lamps use a wick – or the H key,
whichever is easier.
We include a list of possible lamp configurations (see Head Code Classes section below) so you
don’t horribly confuse signalmen, though we warrant you won’t be hauling the Royal train very
often!"

I've tried mousing around the toolbox, but have yet to discover any control area. Pressing the H key without "setting lanterns" has no effect. The "Doing Your Part" scenario occurs at night and the loco's cab is completely dark, so knowing how to open that toolbox and set lanterns is essential. Has anyone out there figured this out? Does anyone else care?

Not that they'll light anything up anyway! however, just click and hold on the lid and drag it upwards.

Not sure wether this help,s but ive found you have to be stationary to open the toolbox. From there, you drag up/down/left/right on the blank areas to bring up the lamps in their correct places. Once done, pressing H should light em up!
