MinitrainS Koppel 0-4-0 balloon stack tank engine with all new power train. The Koppel is now made with an enclosed motor. Even better, the new motor has a brass flywheel! In addition to the flywheel motor the engine has a split frame to improve electrical pick up from the track.
This good running engine is a model of a German Orenstein & Koppel locomotive. If it is not suitable to run as it is, the cab and details can be Americanized. Articles have been written on two such conversions. The first, by Mike Pearsall, appeared in Model Railroader in the July 1965 issue! Yes, HOn30 has been around for at least that long.
