I have this train engine that I cannot ID and hope that someone here knows the manufacture and ~ age of the engine. The electric motor looks like a Marx motor but the shell is not a Marx shell except the font which looks very close to the front of a Marx 999. I cannot place the engine shell with Lionel either. Any ideas? Here are some photos:

Likely MARX.
The Marx trademark is on the cylinders. I think I see it on your engine.
I don't think 532 is a Marx number. It may be Saki. They made a lot of Marx look alikes.

Marx 666. Slightly unusual variation without smoke. Made from 1956 thru the 70’s

Thank you for your helpful information. Yes, it must be a Marx 666, just with a different engine #. In 40 years I have never seen a Marx engine with an unusual numbering stamped on the cab; always 333, 400 or 490, 666, 999 etc. Nice to stumble on something different.
