Several very interesting Fandor posts. I need to study the post by Arne about catalogs. The manager at the Toy Train Museum in Nurnberg years ago sort of confirmed what you said that early on catalogs were for distributors or major retailers and not for general distribution to the public, therefore fewer copies available. I have Dorfan catalog inserts designed for inserting into a distributor salesman catalog. In the US market, therefore, we will need to research these distributor catalogs or ads from them or from major retailers. There is a TCA person cataloguing ads and train articles from Playthings magazine. I will check with him. And, I am still hoping to find more knowledgable Fandor collectors.
On the purpose of the bulb, maybe Lionelski can take his set out for a run. I hope dome European collectors can tell us if this was a resister or a short circuit alarm. I have seen pictures of these with several bulbs.
Thanks for all the posts. Keep 'em coming.
