Reply to "Identifying Vintage Brass Locomotives"

the KTM chassis is most likely a US Hobbies import.    The second possibility is Max Grey  which used KTM as a builder before USHobbies.    Max Grey (the person) sold the business to the guy who founded Kemtron I believe, and he renamed it US Hobbies and continued the business in the 1970s at least  until he solt it to Westside Models Company which managed to fold it up in a few  years.   Many of the same models done by Max Grey were reissued by US Hobbies  with better details and motors.

The Diecast gearbox pretty much insures it is a US Hobbies import.    All the Max Grey era stuff I have seen has had Brass fabricated gearboxes.
