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.

Thanks, the photo is of my father-in-law, Dr. John D.Antrim PE. He passed away in November. My wife came across this photo of him. I am going to have the photo enlarged, framed and hung in our train room. Sure would be nice to find a train and shadow box below the photo.

Thanks and a very Merry Christmas to the hole lot of Yas. Best wishes to your family and friends.
