HO engine identification help

[estavtn]

I have an old engine that was given to me about 30 years ago. Now my son of 14 enjoys it at Christmas time. It fell off the table and broke the axels on one truck. I am trying to find the manufacturer so I can replace it. There are no identification markings on the housing or the chasis. Anyone have any idea who made this? Thanks for your help.

Looks like an Athearn to me.

Jeffery has it right. It's an old Athearn U-boat. U-33-B SCL Spirit of 76. Here's one on ebay.

Thanks a lot, guys, for your quick help. My son and I really appreciate it. Have a good Christmas.

Hang on to the body! These locos were produced during the Bicentinnial. Athearn no longer makes this paint scheme, although the engine in other paint schemes, is still available.
