I picked up these two for the layout last year.
Almost got the one you posted above.

That is cool! Are these common?
Chris, I only have a couple of these but they look cool on the layout. I got them from these guys:
I just checked out the website. Very cool stuff but I didn't find it.

Here you go Chris. This is a direct link. I searched under "train tractor."

OK thanks John I'll check it out.
The trains look cute also. Do these wind-ups run on tubular track?
SWANKO, some will run on 3-rail and some won't. The outer 2 rails are the same as clockwork type track, but some locos have parts that hang down and catch on the middle rail. For instance, all my Marx will handle the 3-rail, but I have Ives and Hafner that do not.
