I just picked this up from my cousin. It belonged to her father. I am fairly knowledgeable about Lionel tinplate, but know next to nothing about any other ( I know, one of these days I should branch out and expand, but.well, that would be another post.). Anyway, can anyone help me out? This does not have a company name on it anywhere, like Ives or American Flyer. Other than the "Pennsylvana Lines" and the "PL" on either side, the only other writing on it is on the motor plate. It says " Germany" and then under that it says "D.R.P a" and under that it says "Patent" and under that "appl for" it is what I would call a dark olive green, with red trim around the windows, wheels, vents and roof. The lettering is in gold on the sides. The frame and pantographs are black. the pickups look to be indented sliders that would ride on the center rail. It is O gauge. It has a reversing lever that comes out the back. It is cast iron. Attached are some pics of it. If it helps, in the same box were an Ives chair car, an ives baggage car and a ives passenger car. the numbers on those are 60, 61, 62. they are red with black roofs and frames. eight wheel trucks. Attached are pics of the engine. thanks in advance for any help.
Hank
