Hi everyone, it's F.E.F. again...YEA! Leapinlarry - thank you for the compliment and let me say that the scenery on yours and trumptrains layout is just fabulous thanks for the great pictures. Well fellows, I guess I will continue to picture things at the opposite end of the beautiful scale and stick to what I know best..."old,broken, and obscure" (Sounds like the nickname for a RR 
) This poor fellow was never well loved by his maker, but I bet some little boy or girl loved him a lot. He is an unnumbered sheet metal , Type XX engine. Uncatalogued by his maker, American Flyer and made somewhere around 1935.
Here he is with the "front end" view. Sorry no headlight bulb and his boiler front is showing its age. However, for the bottom of the line, he has nice copper trim, domes and stack. In addition he has a gear driven whistle attached to the rear of the motor. He would be a 2-4-0 if complete but my version is an 0-4-0 as the front truck is missing or perhaps was never added by Flyer. Hey at 86 years old, I might be missing a few front teeth!
Here is more of a side view showing his copper hand rails and piping to the steam dome. The writing in the smooth square name plate near the boiler front is a decal stating "American Flyer Lines" . He is an electric engine not clockwork. The type XX has the distinction of being the last of the Chicago Flyer steamers.
While this fellow is a long way from being in mint shape, I can tell you he was a "find" in an obscure antique store (as I followed my wife around looking at antique furniture) for the sum of $12, what train collector could resist!!
Happy F.E.F.
Don
