Hello, I was given a G Gauge engine with no manufacturing markings. I received it in just the Styrofoam shell. There is no outer box or paperwork.
I don't have any G gauge trains, but I have plenty of O and N. A friend thought that since I had other trains, I could use this engine. I do appreciate the thought, but I don't need to invest in a whole new set of track, cars and accessories!
I connected DC power to the two pin connector at each coupler and the wheels turn, the lights shine, and the fan in the top spins. I measured power at the removeable smoke generator but I don't see a switch to turn it off.
I don't think there is power pick in the wheels. Would an engine have gotten power from another car? Maybe an A/B setup?
It did come with another set of couplers that I think match my cheap battery powered Christmas train.
Does anyone have any hints as to who made this engine?
Thank you
