Light/shadow

I know it has been discussed somewhere here before but unfortunately I could not find it myself:

What's the "lighting model" for OTTD in the sense of where is the light coming from and where should shadows on sprites be placed?

If I recall correctly, light is from lower right and shadows thus should be towards upper right - true?!?

Would like a confirmation before I start drawing larger numbers of sprites.

This appears to be correct. When playing the game, it comes from that side on the default graphics, the bottom right is brightest, and getting darker as you go around.
