In going through some of my late father's collection last night, I found 2 O Scale 2-rail brass locos, one of which I could identify as a KTM by Max Gray PRR G5.  However, this was in the other bin.  Loco looks to be mainly brass, with a big Westinghouse can motor.  Tender body has some paint chipping, so I can see it's die cast metal with a wooden frame.

Not sure if this was made by a name maker, or built from a kit by someone individually.  She's really solid, built well and weighs a ton!

Any help identifying this one would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you!

Not only is the gearbox Walthers, but the frame looks very much like the frame of my Walthers 0-6-0.  Maybe Carey Williams will see this, I know he has a couple of Walthers Locos.  At this point, I would bet on at least a Walthers drivetrain.  My Walthers 0-6-0 boiler is tin with lots of detail, what is this one made of? I see brass on the cab back wall, but what about the rest of it?

Looking at the thin loco frame, it may be a International Model product otherwise I would say it is a scratchbuilt model.  The tender looks like an All Nation cast aluminum USRA tender to me (originally Megow from the 1940s) and there are some of these tenders that are nicely cast.  That looks like aluminum peeking out of the paint on this tender.
