It's obviously built for the toy market but, that's quite a set of side rods they bothered to put on it. It kind of reminds me of a battery operated one I had years ago as a child.

Looks like it came that way. Good job. I was thinking about throwing mine out sense its broke beyond repair. But, now I will save it or give it to someone that can bring it back to life.

Realy no it is not. The locomotive of this post is a 0-8-0. Not a 0-4-0.

Off topic, sorry. Hummm, I hadn't thought of using the spring from a ball-point-pen as a worm gear. I'm thinking to power that Tyco pipe loader.

I see the 2 photos so I guess two 0-4-0s = one 0-8-0.
