Heljan Class 33 rear lights don't work

[Brew Man]

The other thread on lights not working reminded me of this. Quite recently I bought the above and I must say it runs superbly. However, while the front lights work fine, I have never been able to get the rear lights on. Is there a function I'm missing? This is my first diesel loco,so not used to fiddling around with lights.

Any enlightenment gratefully received. 🙃

When one of my locos did the same, it worked out to be a wire that got trapped when the body got put on, cutting the wire in half.

Thanks both, some food for thought there. Of course I wouldn't want the rear lights on when the loco is pulling a train, but would be nice when running light engine.
