Hello
Dr73919 is a colas tamper like any other, but has some kind of wagon permanently attached to the front...
Does anyone know why DR73919 has a wagon attached to the front and why most other tampers that look similar, don't have it?
Thanks

Interesting. That looks like a permanent fixture then, as the main unit itself appears not to have any light clusters that end.

Wiki suggests that it might be a 'Tamper/Liner', a dual function machine designed to align the rails as well as deal with the ballast underneath them. The 'trailer' would seem likely to be the additional kit for the lining bit.
