I have a moderate sized N Scale layout era 1930's. I run all steam and recently acquired an older 4-6-2 but I can't seem to find any manufacturer markings anywhere. I have been scouring the internet attempting to find anything close but keep coming up empty. Enclosed are some photos of key manufacturing details that may help. If anyone has seen or know of who produced it, I would greatly appreciate the insight. Thanks and roll on!

Agreed, and it’s pretty cool! Not a lot of steam in the early days of N scale.

I would say that it's a very good chance that this is your locomotive.

Thanks for that info! It sure looks to be the beast. Now the real fun begins...finding a few replacement parts. Worst case, I'll fabricate them myself. Then an attempt of adding a decoder. Any further information will ne appreciated. Thanks again!
 
If you put a decoder in it, make sure that everything is insulated and isolated properly before putting power to it. Kapton tape and an electric meter are your best friends during that endeavor!
 
Thanks again. I have done a few decoder projects in my other locos so I will have fun with this one. I'll post how it turns out. Happy railroading!!
