Oh, right, I remember there was ONE difference between the DL&W and B&M units.  The headlight on the
DL&W units, I think, had the same sort of visor over the headlight which incorporated a number board
backlit by the beam of the headlight.  The B&M didn't.  Or the other way 'round, I forget.  But you
could look it up.
