Its the body of a French steeplecab with a custom frame to use a Marx motor unit. I used a tinplate looking trolley pole from a cheap windup knockoff. The headlight mount bracket was fabricated. I did the paint job. I used it wth prewar Flyer and Lionel consists circa 20'-30's....With compromise couplers.
I am almost done with a scratch built steam clockwork...using a Hornby drive. Ill post it when done. It uses a Marx tank car for the boiler..Ill post it when completed.
