Yep, it a homebrew and not even tin!  lol

It's sort of my Ode to Prewar! I used various Ives and Dorfan locos as guides as well as the Lionel Standard Gauge 33 (the no frame part) and freelanced it.

I had purchased a pair of mid '20's American Flyer coaches awhile back. The tab & slot couplers are higher than any of my Marx stuff so I needed something to pull them with without having to keep bending Marx couplers up high enough to mate. So until I can come up with a proper AF loco, I put this one together from scraps of plywood and PVC pipe, powered by a spare Marx motor.

Here's a shot from the erecting hall during construction....

I'll try to get a shot of the underside soon.

I have a spare Marx motor might have to build something like this for it better than just having the spare motor sitting in my junk box
