Is the lamp in the Walthers catalogue ? Is it prototypical for the era ? Would it be better if it was DCC controlled ? Joe G.

Very enjoyable - I haven't laughed this hard in quite a while. We need some more lightness to cheer up the forum.

Did you notice that someone went back and dug up the Furlow bash from several months ago as per the last line talking about the lurker.

Enquiring minds want to know!
