Different, for sure.

Nice patina

And you're keeping it...WHY?

Looks like an ATHEARN that by the appearance of the trucks became an AT--RN, less couplers!  It might actually ROLL on ETSY and if packing, please don't cut your fingers on those wheel flanges! 😂

Thank u!, Now u got me doing some forensics in my mind.
Abandoned project after the chop job, Never rode on the N guage rails!
Never even wound up in the corner of a train layout somewhere near a downtown restaurant.
I think my idea was a short line or logging railroad?

Pic 1 and 3 shows the chop line on the left side of body, and on the left truck in pick 3. I must have used an exacto saw, and some kind of goop glue that still is holding all these years later!

Pic 2 shows an almost clean un-detectable cut and join right along the rivet line?

Also pic 3 shows the cut in 1/2 truck made into 2 single axle trucks.

I think during this period in life I was in the middle of transitioning from model building and Model railroad stuff to Led Zeppelin/Music,and Smokin In the Boy's Room!(HIGH School, and I do mean HIGH!)

Thanks for your reply!
