Who knows who built it ?

Lobaugh, possibly....

Yep, Lobaugh.

Not 100% sure.  Tender seems Lobaugh, but the locomotive could be scratchbuilt. Gearbox might not be Lobaugh.  The screw holding the eccentric is strange.  And the extra windows in that cab make me think that either very early Lobaugh or Pratt parts may have been used.  Firebox is missing.

I'd call it most likely prewar Lobaugh with maybe postwar tender.  97%.

You might want to post a picture of the bottom of the engine to show the chassis that would Enlighten many thank you

Delighted that you fixed the title.  I will get some photos of the Pratt/Lobaugh up in a minute or so.

This one is my first Lobaugh 0-6-0 acquisition.1265 belonged to a friend, and I have no idea where it went1243 is mine, and awaits finishing.  Note the firebox. 

all of these are 17/64, Pratt/Lobaugh.1197 is completely scratchbuilt, except for obvious castings (drivers, rods, trucks, motor, and NWSL gears.  I include it to indicate that not all things that look like Lobaugh are in fact Lobaugh.

Bob2,

How did you make the Steam chest/cylinders for #1197?  I really like the simplicity of its valve gear.

True, and why I used the word "possibly".

I think I described cylinder fabrication in an OGR about three decades ago.  Simple - you need brass dowel, brass bar, a sharp hacksaw and file, brass screws to hold it together while soldering, and I believe that center saddle piece was originally Kemtron, now in the PSC catalog.
