As you may've heard, WAMALUG displayed a layout at The Great American Train Show held over the weekend in Gaithersburg, Maryland.

Interesting. I would have guessed that they drove vehicles down the tracks for wrecks or construction sites. But I guess if you travel back to a time before cars and trucks came along, spotlights on cars could be quite a necessity. Thanks. -Nick (...) (25 years ago, 28-Feb-00, to lugnet.trains)
