I got to work on one of these last year, and I found one this weekend at an antique store, and being rather intrigued by it earlier, I went ahead and bought it. Not sure who makes the drive mechanism for it, it's nicely detailed, runs a bit "jumpy", but pretty quiet overall. Nice HO engine, wondering if it's worth DCCing it. Prices on Ebay range from 150 to near 300, most with the box and display with it, mine came without. I didn't pay near that much, thankfully!

I think Catfordken or Toptrain has one of those.

It's a beaut.

I have one.. No pictures of it posted.. In my opinion... it's kind of clunky. I think it could have been constructed better. I only paid ~$20 for mine, so I still overall pleased with it.

Your engines are grand Ken!
