Well one mystery solved, and as usual more questions.
I have had this engine for years, and have no idea where it came from. Obviously a Marx motor, but everything inside looks factory with no obvious modifications. I looked at a Durham Trains page and nothing like it. Anyone got any ideas?
As to th OP, looks great. If I saw it on a table at a show, it would be going home with me.mi

OK, here is my guess - It's a Durham battery operated locomotive shell (some were made with open windows) and someone has skillfully shortened the boiler. Look closely at the point where the boiler meets the cab, or just in front of the cab, and see if there is a seam. The body is identical to Durham steamers I have except there is a section missing between the cab and 2nd sand dome.
