Adding Flashing Ditch Lights

Not sure where this would fall under.

Is it possible to add flashing ditch lights to the Kuju ES44? If so, how?

If you have access to the LUA, then yes.

You can't on the Kuju ES44. The ditchlights are on the same node as the headlight, so you can't control them.

What about adding them say to the H2 ES44DC?

If the ditch light nodes are independent of each other rather than the same node, yes.

Do you suppose some on here ever find time to drive a train?

One of my first endeavors in simulation scripting.

PapaXpress, what would be a description for this item?
If you write one here I'll add it to the download page.

It is accurately listed as Union Pacific (UP) UPY-588 GP15-1

Its modeled after a real yard dog.

Back when I was young and thought I could make the route of my dreams this locomotive would of had a place running between Strong Yard and Oakland terminal. It did live there for a bit, but has since moved on. There are still GP15 yard dogs there, just not UPY-588.
