Do a google search for Orobr clockwork power plant.
One with photo sold for $150 on ebay a long while ago.
This is not john's, there are small details.
These are really fun. There's actually one on Ebay right now (no connection to me). Publisher's note: Ebay direct link removed to comply with OGR TOS.

I just bought the one on eBay. It's coming from Russia, so I may not get it until June! eek I've been watching it. It was listed awhile back, but then not listed again until this week. I was worried you would create competition for me when you mentioned it. It has a blue or green railing instead of red. I would have preferred red, but these are hard to find. One went at live auction several years ago for well over $200.

There are also Russian knock offs available by Vatutina Kiev called the "Big Machine". They are all pretty pricey.
