55G Deluxe Limited...!!!

Wow! That is a great piece offered for only a few years in the 1990s..

I had a 55 G Deluxe identical to yours but without the lighthouse. There were a few of the Deluxe edition made but yours is the only one I have seen with the lighthouse hence the "Limited" designation.

I have an advertising photo that may well have your machine pictured or one like it.

I also have 2 of those lighthouses which are scale replicas of the Cape Hatteras lighthouse.

I will locate and add the advertising photo tomorrow.

Welcome aboard and congrats...!!!

EDIT:

Here are a couple pictures.
One of the Advertising photo taken in front of the actual lighthouse at Cape Hatteras.
(the girl and/or the engine may have been photoshopped into this picture)

The other picture is of my 55 Deluxe with one of my lighthouses perched on it.
My 55 G Deluxe is now with Jim in Australia.

I do have here the original prototype 55 G Deluxe and 20 G Deluxe. 
They are both on much smaller bases.
