    Found this Tracklight at a swap here as is.
    Bit of clean up revealed the etched symbols VR AL 7.
    VR stands for Victorian Railways .

    If it’s a Victoria Railways Tracklamp, it should look very good sitting between my two VR FL6s... :lol:

    Cheers

    Railways, when I read VR, I think Finish State railway, but I guess this is Victoria RR ?

    I have two FL6s that have VR and a number cut into the tank. I know the railway station they came from. In this case VR = Victoria Railways (Victoria being the State in Australia).
