Whizzer Lights and Grill

Post by jonrev »

What happened to the working headlights and grill on the front of the Whizzer trains? The headlights looked like a cool effect.

Pretty much. People would keep stealing them. In Germany they were easy to come by and cheaper, but in the states they were a hot item.

That and the electrical generator and battery system that kept them lit was worn out and expensive to replace.
