Lionel,

Wouldn't this be a problem? The anchor light is supposed
to be a 360 degree light. Hauling it up the track will
have it only visible from most lines except forward. Using
my mast as a guide, this would provide me with something
like 270-280 degrees view astern unless it's wider than the
mast. If it is wider than the mast, then that puts up two
side by side lights when seen from forward, rather than
the single anchor light.
