 it looks like a Tyco drive!
Tyco did that on their 0-8-0s too!

| Yes, regular Tyco tender drive. Engine was sold as a 2-8-0 then cheapened up as time went on to 0-8-0. Valve gear and some other detail dissapears as well.

Pemco also used this type of drive for their mogul locomotives.

It's basically the same "pan-cake" drive used in later power-torque diesel locomotives.
What I didn't like about these locomotive-tender types was that there was a bit of slack between the two so that the tender-drive buckled the connection between it and the locomotive.

I don't have a one track mind. It depends on the turn-out.

Is that a power-trip or just another pick-up line?
