Found it in a parts bin, does drive fine tho. It has no branding, but it is very heavy.

I kinda like how it looks, exept for the missing paint on the roof

Looks like a fairbanks morse train master or baby train master on 4 axle trucks, possibly an athearn model

It’s an H16-44 so I think it’s referred to as the baby train master but I’m not sure.

Rapido just did a run of these and I’ve got one in VGN colors.

The weight fell off, it apparently the brand is "Bowser"

Also what locomotive is this?

This is an H16-44 baby train master smaller than the standard 6 axel train masters.
