Hi Ken,
That's the old AHM-Mehano GE Center Cab switcher with the brittle breakaway railings.
http://tycotrain.tripod.com/ahmhoscaletrainscollectorsresource/id28.html
I ran the hell out of mine as a kid, and its warp speed and high center of gravity insured plenty of rollovers. [;)] It can be slowed down to switcher speeds by substituting an Atlas/Kato worm for the original. I've never seen any indication that GE ever produced anything like this.
The box says Parkway? Mehano has been imported by so many different firms. I believe IHC sold it for a while after AHM went bust.
The Tyco Depot
