Model Railroading > Any idea what this is?Date: 03/18/23 06:38 Any idea what this is? Author: CPR_4000 Someone on eBay claims this is a Broadway Limited HO locomotive. Any idea what it actually is? I'm not even sure it's HO.

Not my model, pix from ebay. I thought the same about the coupler, especially since they're truck mounted, but look at the weave of the fabric. Looks like a placemat so I don't think it's O. Somebody had a remote control coupler in HO, was it MTH? Not that they ever made anything as toylike as this. Or did they? Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 03/18/23 07:04 by CPR_4000.

Author: CPR_4000 Thanks, guys. Thought maybe MTH but couldn't find the exact "model." Er, toy. :-)
