My two cents worth is this: The boiler is die cast, but striped of a lot of detail, the smoke box front is quite crisp in detail, and suggests , die cast, cylinders too. The cab, firebox rivet sheet looks scratch built, and a few lost wax castings added like front headlight, sand dome, wash out plugs, valves etc. The frame could be Reading T-1? ( Lionel ) but modified. The tender is nice ( not that the rest is not ) it looks, scratch built, or what Bob suggested. The whole thing hangs on how well it runs, some history on its build could add value, but thats the missing part I guess. Ill guess its worth at, $50-$150 If the frame needs replacing, and $200-$250 if its a nice smooth runner already, some will feel thats generous. The market will decide. Or just enjoy it. cTr....
