OK Guys… Here it is the $10 NEW Clockwork…
The real story…
It is actually a toy, manufactured by Schylling, of Rowley MA, and licensed by Lionel. But will certainlly make an interesting conversation item. Looking forward to taking to the train club when I return home. Price actually was $10, it is NEW, with the Box, and is Mint.
NEW as in brand new just made or new old stuff? Because if its new as in just made, thats a great project to motorize and make it run electrically as well as having it for a clockwork toy. I like clockwork, always did.
Actually it is NEW, kinda small though. Runs on floor or carpet, will no go up an incline.
BTW, I know of 3 more that are available, cost would be $10 plus $6 shipping if anyone wants me to pick them up one.
Will it run on 027 or O gauge track?

Good afternoon all,
I have a streamliner version of the same thing. There is a brand of plastic track by Tomy that was used for some Thomas material a few years ago. I run the set on that. Sometimes if I wind it too much, it flies off the curves!
Keep on training,

Would you say it is closer to HO, N, or S scale?
Also, is there a part number on the box. I would like to find it locally if I could.

Jim,
This is exactly what I got. Found it at a train store. I agree they probably would sell out, maybe we just gave them a BIG marketing boost.
It’s small - won’t run on O gauge track. That said, these folks also make or rather made the famous wind-up ‘Rail Zeppelin’ - two flavors still floating out there: Lionel and all-chrome. I just got the latter for myself which I’m saving for Christmas.
This set is not made to run on ANY track, only the floor. The wheels don’t have flanges, but are “ribbed” for traction. I bought one for my 2-year-old Grandson, who uses it as a push-toy. I’ts very nice, especially for the price. It’s sold at just about any train show. Joe
I just purchased mine. Thanks for the tip. In return, here are some other wind ups; http://www.tinmantintoys.com/bpandt/index.html
What a great site! I’ve always liked wind-up or ‘tin-plate’ toys.
