Reply to "Buy/Make Anything Cool Lately (Tinplate Version)"

@Fatman  regarding the motor and it’s fit- I’m not sure. But I did have someone who’s been around in terms of repairs look at it and he’s seen these types of motors before.

I should’ve included more of my talk with the seller at the recent meet. He walked passed me and had a bright, lime green colored loco just like mine(of course no PRR) with the same window types. So I hailed him down. He’s also a seller who, while I don’t know him, we eventually recognized each other from other meets. Anyway, He said it won’t run on normal O gauge(1 1/4) because the track is too wide for it but that the wheels are too far apart for it to be S. Also simply said it was ” old” but was mass produced.  Apparently, he was able to assemble the track on which it worked but it was a headache to do so. I’m gonna reach out to him and hopefully come back here with some answers.

my guesses: either 1 1/8 Märklin or Bub, Or an Early German non-standard-O 25,28,30mm track gauge. This I’ve gleaned from historytoy, charles cooper’s railway track museum, section 12.4 of this resource
