When I saw this on ebay, I assumed it was a nicely customized Marx CV. It ends up the loco shell is all made of wood except the motor mount and a few trim pieces. The workmanship is outstanding.

Someone was truly talented in wood work,that's just really cool looking !
Is the loco very heavy ?
Did you make the purchase from someone in the U.S. or outside the country ?
It is not too heavy so not done in a hard wood. It was made in the US. Got it on e-bay from a seller selling a lot of trains from an estate. Most were custom painted Marx, but this one just had my name all over it.
