My latest $5 buy at today's train show in Independence, OH.

I love getting stuff like this! Anywho, I'm pretty sure the motor is NOT original, but the frame appears to be quite usable and I would like to make something out of it. Just for grins, I stuck a spare 601 Seaboard shell on it, and the fit is perfect - screw hole in front matches up, and the frame tab and body slot match in the rear.

But this is NOT the frame for a 601/602 - as you can see

there is not a second slot for the motor mounting tabs to fit into toward the center of the frame. I think I have seen motor trucks that have a metal finger that is bent over at a right angle and just rides on the edge of the motor hole. 

So with all that, can you tell me what engine this frame belongs to?
