Nice loco, but clockwork? To me this looks like the electric version.

Argggghhh ... ok did anyone else spot the deliberate mistake   ( I have both versions lol )

My circa-1928 Hornby clockwork LMS tank engine; the key is stored in the cab.

A "late" AF No. 1 (circa 1915, I believe) with 10 spoke cast drivers, but without boiler rivets or drive rods. Mated with a 328 tender. Runs like the dickens.

I love this topic. I don’t run the clockworks a lot, but have tons of them. They are real attention getters at shows with the general public. At meets with train guys, not a lot of interest.

Steve

great stuff so far... keep 'em comin'... !

a few more from the random shot collection...

Dorfan Set No. 99 (Ca. 1925)

Flyer, Empire Express #7 (Ca. 1928)

bringing two old friends back together.... Flyer Type XVIII w/ Hafner 1190 tender

Marx, #200 Rapid Transit (Ca. 1930)

The oldest train in my collection is a clockwork from the french brand F V . It dates from around 1890 and still in working condition.

And a more "modern"one made by Jdp (Jouets de Paris) in the twenties.

i always enjoy running Hafner for the public.  with that mechanism, the key does not unwind as it moves and many folks believe the key is just a dummy/ decoration when they first see it running... until it stops, i wind it up and send it on its way again...

fun stuff...!

Has spring sprung?! LOL!

NICE!  ☺

My whole collection
