Ken I have seen yours and one other. None in a factory box. We know who made it but don't know who released it.

| The square-tank one was sold as a Silvine and later either converted or cloned in plastic to be a Life-Like piece for about 10 years. The round-tank one, you'd have to see if it shows up in any Aristo catalogs I suppose.

I have the 0-4-0 Saddle tank with the original box. It is labeled as being a Silver Line model. It has the red lining in the box. The box has yellow labels covering most of it with the Silver Line artwork. It is as if they were wallpapering the box when they re-branded it. I purchased it at a show for $10.
Sadly the motor only runs at full speed and smells like it is burning up when running. I have cleaned it multiple times with no luck. I had an 0-4-0 Camel Back that had the same issue. That one could not be fixed and I do not think this one can be either. What I did to fix the camel back was to take a Mantua 0-4-0 drive and mount it under there. Much better operation. Only had to enlarge the hole in the body for the screw going down the stack.
