Hey Wind up Guy - James - Your set just sparked my curiosity, so I looked at the set # reference.  Set #150 is listed as a mechanical set (so...good for you "wind up guy" ) using the Number 155 engine and tender.  Description of the No 155 is as follows..." 1925-1930 Die cast bright red-enameled 6 1/4" body, clockwork motor ; pressed steel wheels; no drive rods; embossed "MADE IN USA"under pilot; Type 1 tender.  Similar to #50 that is electrically powered."  Except for the loco color everything you showed matches the set description including the two #355 Pullmans and the cross over track.  

Its a superb set...just matching up a loco and the cars to rescue the set is super.  As for the original loco...well Dorfan was famous for "zinc pest" and the damage it did to their locos and cars so having another appropriate loco is really good.

Best to you and Happy Holidays

Don
