Reply to "Mars lights"

Here is my prized collection: Working Mars light model, 250R, saved it from scrapper's torch at Alter's at Council Bluffs, Iowa. C&NW sold old wrecking crane to Alter's. That 250R once used on C&NW steam locomotives and early Geep before put it on wrecking crane. My friend was able to build special transformer that work from 120V AC to 64V DC and it worked!
