I believe it's an old Penn Line D-1 Whitcomb switcher. Looking at your photos, it looks just like this one I found on ebay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/2970078391...c1awLncVMEt9PX/Yw9tr0+fi0=|tkp:Bk9SR_TiqLX9ZQ

You can do a lot with those Penn Line Whitcombs. Shave off the cast details and add brass castings, handrails etc. Mine has a can motor and DCC, It may be tiny but can handle 15 cars easily.
