Anyone have any ideas, I've never seen the brand or model before? Probably going up for sale but have no idea on value. Any help is appreciated
Cleaning out my uncle's place and found this..

Looks like its a Katsumi , It appears to be pretty old , only one drive axle ? Brasstrains.com sole a similar one (same model) imported by Ken Kidder in '63 https://brasstrains.com/Classic/Pro...2053-American-Car-Company-Double-Truck-Birney , it sold for $150, Same drive train , its almost identical , little bit better condition maybe.
If it were me and I weren't going to keep it , I would ebay it with a starting bid of $75 -100 and see if anybody bites .

Sorry for the delay in getting back - The books I was looking for have been packed in storage since 2010.
Sadly I did not find any info on your item as the Brass Locomotive Checklist I have is from 1949-1969 and it does not list Pacific Pike company at all. Perhaps manufactured sometime in 1970?
And I even looked in a 1967 Walthers catalog hoping to find a reference to that company. Trivia on that catalog - It is less than 1/4" thick.
