The two lamps on either LHS and RHS of the buffer beam is for an express passenger train (Source).

From memory; the 'all filled in' code (i.e. smokebox + 3 on buffer beam) was reserved for the royal train, however I am struggling to find a source for that one for some reason....

I have the same memory but Google didn't turn anything up. I must have read it in a book back in the days before t'Internet

I've seen it quite recently, too, although I can't recollect why, maybe connected with the recent passing of QEII? I am really not sure, but the memory seems very recent.

Huzzah, have found it (see pdf linked on page)! Is GWR, but my understanding is that the GWR, LNER and LMS were aligned for Headcodes, with only SR doing their own thing...

Thank you Kiwionrails I had seen lamp charts but they never had them on the charts.

Now these have come I will save up for the locksound or locoman DCC decoder for them.

Yes the 4 lamp code is for the Royal Train and any doubts can be removed as the B2 looks better than brand new, no doubt the depot cleaners have been kept busy.
