Since we’re off the rail from tinplate can anyone identify the clockwork train the picture

I group the cast iron locos in with tinplate - they typically came with tinplate cars and ran on tinplate rails.  But, I digress...

My best guess is that your loco is a Hafner "Century of Progress" type engine - they are actually stamped tin bodies instead of cast iron.  I zoomed in on your picture and this seems to be the closest loco I can find to it.  Here is a picture of one of mine from about the same angle as your picture.  This one has a red smokebox door, but they also came in an all black version.
