<p><font face="times new roman,times" size="4">While browsing through a May 1988 copy of Live Steam magazine, I came across an ad by D&C Locomotive Works, that caught my attention.The following is a quote from that ad:</font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman" size="4"> "D&C Locomotive Works, Inc., is now offering three <em>objects d'art </em>from the golden age of railroading - around 1880. <font color="#0000ff">Just as the engineer owned the headlight of his locomotive, </font><font color="#000000">he also owned his tallow pot, oilcan and coffee cup, all of which he took with him from engine to engine." </font></font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman" size="4"> The question is, did the engineer own the headlight of his locomotive? If anyone knows anything about this strange claim, please let us know. D&C was selling reproductions of the tallow pot, oilcan and coffee cup only, but I thought the headlight thing was unusual.</font></p>
