    I found two engines I didn't realize I had. The first on is a 4-6-0. Don't know
    the brand. The only marking that I could see on the engine appears to be
    GES.GESCH. After I cleaned the wheels on the engine and tender and also put
    grease on the gear that is showing on the bottom, it runs pretty good on my 4
    ft. test track. I am not sure where to put engine oil. There is a hole on the
    underside just before the last set of wheels, you can see it if pic 3 - is that
    where it is oiled? Also on the topside, on one of the humps, there is a screw.
    Is that how the body comes off? The SW has no markings at all. I am assuming it
    is Athearn or AHM. The frame is metal. This one runs well also. The light was
    not working so I took the body off and the light assemble fell off. Put it back
    together and it works fine. I put some grease on the wheel gears and cleaned the
    wheels, but don't know where to oil the motor - if some one could help with that
    info.

    Not sure on the steamer. The switcher is an Athearn SW1200.

    Tonight at the local club I saw an exact match to that steam loco, it was from IHC.

    One of the really nice older members bought it from another member who has since passed.

    He installed a nice decoder with sound but was having motor/possible wiring problems
