Hi, Folks!
Can someone identify this engine? It's a working steamer that was on my coworker's Father's mantle for many years. It's about a foot long, sitting on a piece of lionel O gauge track.
I believe that loco was made by a company called Weeden Manufacturing Company.
If I remember correctly was made to run on alcohol,and there should be 6 wicks on the underside to heat the water.

Thanks, Carl!
You may be right. I noticed a number of wicks underneath.

It appears to be a Weeden #1 Steam Locomotive - 1931- 1933.
The link below has some history as well as a picture.
