Help Identifying engine

Not an expert on this one, but first guess is International.  If the drivers are held on the brass axles with a set screw, that is a good guess.

My guess would be a KTM US Hobbies or Max Gray import based on it having brake shoes and steel tires.

Pictures of the underside would help.   All the USH and Max Grey engines I have seen have KTM or the max grey logo on the gear box.     I know USH made a brass model of that engine B&O C16, and also International models did one.   I don't know if Max Grey did or not.    All the USH and MG locos would have bearing boxes on the axles.   The IM ones just have the axles riding in holes in the frame.   

Didn't Right of Way and Sunset do the B&O C16 as well? A picture of the underside would certainly narrow it down.     Stephen    (cTr...Choose the Right)

I had forgotten.   Actually I think they both did.  Right of Way did it in 3 rail too.   Not sure of Sunset.   Sunset may have taken over their production run when they close up shop.

Thank you for the replies so far, your guys specific knowledge is incredible.  Based on some of the possible IDs mentioned, is this engine really worth anything?  I am looking to either sell it or just gift it to young nephews to play with.

Here are two pictures of underneath if this helps anyone.

On d'bay, there are 2 B&O C-16s listed.  One is Right of Way and the other is US Hobbies.  The underside of the ROW looks nothing like yours whereas the USH is remarkably similar.

I just checked the Pocket Spotter Guide.  It shows just such a model with those really small drivers.  The label is USH.

I have not seen a USH loco with an open main gear.   All I have seen have enclosed diecast gear boxes with reduction gearing.   Also all USH locos I have seen have "KTM" cast on the gearbox. 

I would definitely rule out International Models.   This one appears to be much newer and better built.  

The USH B&O C-16 and C-16a models have open gears and an odd gear train unlike anything else that US Hobbies produced.  I have replaced these drives with NWSL gearboxes and I am sure this model is a US Hobbies product.  The drivers are 45" and should be 48" and I have installed new correct sized drivers on some of these in the past.  It is my understanding that drawings published in Model Railroader Magazine at some point incorrectly showed the drivers to be 45" and US Hobbies followed those drawings when creating their model of this locomotive.

So we answered that question.  Next - does going to 48" make that model look any better?  I always liked the Varney model that I got when I was six - I keep meaning to duplicate it in 17/64, but it seems to have normal sized drivers, and I am guessing now that they are not correct.

This USH thing looks a little like one of those suitcases on rollers, but with domes.  Yuk.

Here's some pics of the right of  way model.    Stephen   (cTr...Choose the Right)
