Very nice.  A custom paint job I assume.  Beside its NKP!

Yep Lou, just a cheap old Lionel plastic #8300 2-4-0. I repainted it and slightly modified it to get the toy-like appearance away. I added Bullfrog Snot to one of the drivers for extra pulling power and installed a headlight. I don't run it much but I do like the way it looks and it seems to photograph well.

As I recall that loco has a DC motor and plastic tender shell which makes it very adaptable to TMCC, if you do that sort of thing.

Besides its NKP; you know, that Cleveland Ohio stuff (like Erie also).  Used to ride my bike down to the NKP station on East 93rd and watch NKP and Erie both (mid 60's).
