It is all heavy die-cast. No visible maker's marking.
The boiler looks like one of Varney/Penn Line/MDC. The boiler and cab are one casting.
The drive assembly looks like Mantua/TYCO from a 2-8-2.
The valve hanger is part of the die-cast boiler.
The tender looks like Penn Line/Bowser.
The steam chest has no piping to the boiler.
Also the steam chest center hole is tapped having a screw in the frame to hold it in place. No longer a pain to get the valve gear aligned when the steam chest falls away from the frame during disassembly.
The boiler front is held by a screw in the smoke stack to the steam chest. Engine cab has 2 brass screws up from the fame rear.
It runs well like a typical Mantua/TYCO die-cast steamer.
