***Well, this mystery has a second main event! B&O saddle-tanker #62.
Moving on. still with the Teakettle. Now A friend of mine catfordken, a Londoner found over in England a 0-4-0t diecast teakettle with a saddle tank. Not like the Silvine side-tanked. But also not unlike it. The drives are interchangeable but the bodies are different. One, the Silvine, is labeled New One Japan. The other nothing. Ken had it for over a year then traded it to me. I have had it for 2 weeks. No one to this date has found any catalog reference to this second Teakettle. Has anyone seen this loco before and definitely know who sold it? By that, I mean the company who Imported and distributed it AND CATALOGED IT.
* Here is what it looks like. It is another beauty, just like the Silvine B&O #25.
