Attached is Henry's photo, along with a piece of artwork I used to illustrate an article I wrote for the October 1981 issue of Smoke Signals - the monthly magazine of the Pontiac-Oakland Club International. Cheers, Jack Date: 05/13/10 22:25 Re: Hyrailing on the Narrow Gauge Author: AdamPhillips The first photo shows a spot light and backup lights. The last photo, with the single axle, does not show the "light package". Different era or different car? Either way, I wish I had one :P

Different era or > different car? Either way, I wish I had one :P Adam, if you look closely at Henry's photo the backup light can just barely be discerned as a "black blob" right where it should be. I do not know what happened to the drivers side spot light. With any luck, I will be able to locate Henry's original slide in a couple of days, and perhaps shed some more "light" on the subject. Sorry, I just had to say that... Cheers, Jack Date: 05/15/10 00:02 Re: Hyrailing on the Narrow Gauge Author: SPGP9 Nice artwork, Jack.
