Reply to "Another one! Atlantic this time…"

I believe you will find you have an International Models 4-4-2 on your hands, produced in Japan in the years just following World War II.  The company made all-brass models, and by that I mean everything was brass- including, frame, wheelsets, axles, valve gear, and motor worm gearing.  This could be a bit of a nuisance for operators when brass bearings and gears were mated with brass counterparts.  If compatible non-brass pieces can be found or fabricated to eliminate brass-on-brass wear surfaces, you may end up with a unique model which runs.  Some here would probably like an update on whether it is an International or something else.  Good luck with your acquisition.
