Hello TT world here are some photos of the Lesney Matchbox " Models of Yesteryear" #13 Santa Fe Steam engine.
When I first saw it's photo thought it might be the Gandy Dancer American ...( anybody have a photo of one ? )
Who ever modified the match box model did a very nice job . The motor will need to be replaced as it has issues with brushes / commutator ..so a dead spot unless going a bit faster than desired. Link to video
Cheers Carey

Amazing conversion, if not a little esoteric. :-)
