Hi! I've never seen this engine before, ever and wanted to know who it was made from. It looks like its form Mantua, but they had a different underframe. So who was it made from?

If I can't fix it, I can fix it so it can't be fixed.

You got the right answer from Bill waw47. Lionel HO. History is even correct.

Kenny, Why do you have the pickups out from between the frame and back of the wheel? And why the red arrows?
