ConCor Announces a New Version of the CB&Q Pioneer Zephyr - 1940's Twin Headlight Version in N Scale

About the Con-Cor Twin Headlight version of the Pioneer Zephyr:

After several accidents, the Pioneer Zephyr was modified in the 1940's to add a double "Twin Headlight" assembly above the nose, and the rear observation car.

The second headlight on the nose was an early version of the "Mars" light. A bright oscillating light enabled motorists to see the approaching train from a greater distance.

Our version of the "Twin Headlight" Zephyr will use a flashing LED that will operate in both DC and DCC mode to simulate this safety feature. The Pioneer Zephyr retained this "twin headlight" until its final run on March 20th, 1960.

When running on Analog "DC" the Front headheadlight will blink as long as the Train is moving forward. (See Video below). When convered to DCC mode by swapping out the factory mounted PCB board plugged into the NMRA 8 pin Socket with a DCC Decoder, you can program the P-3 connection to vary the Intensity and duration of the blinking to suit your own taste, by changing the CV settings of CV 51 to 2 or 3 and CV 62 to a setting around #16. Double check with your Decoder Manufacturer to make sure these settings will be appropriate for the model and brand decoder you will be using.

By this time the Original Pioneer Zephyr had many additional sisters in service on the Burlington system, and the tail end observation car had the name "Pioneer Zephyr" name applied onto it. Our "Twin Headlight" Zephyr will also have this name applied to the rear of the Train.
