Hi,

as far as I know, all V set cars have east-west lighting in the "Melbourne 
Zone" (i.e. single deck section). Up/downstairs have the north south 
lighting in the newer cars, and east-west lighting in the blue goose cars.

I *might* be wrong on the "Melbourne Zone" though. As a matter of 
perspective (okay, it's a topic hijack) the Hitachi's have north-south 
lighting, and the Comengs, which came later, have east-west lighting. 
Harris cars also started out with north-south lighting, and when converted 
to grey ghost sets & interurban H cars, they got the same east-west 
lighting as the Comengs. Internally, the 4D is cosmetically identical to 
the Tangara (okay okay, except for the 2x2 seating downstairs).

Regards

Michael
