Need Help - 2 Unidentified Brass Trains
Hello, my grandfather passed away and I'm trying to sort through his model train collection. I can't seem to identify these two trains in the provided pictures. Both look to be brass locomotives. I have not removed from display case to look for markings but hoping someone can help without having to do so at this time. I believe these are G Gauge trains. I have identified a third as a PSC Brass Shay #15 but can't seem to find anything on these two. Thanks for your help.
WHAT IS IT
This is for the old timers like me who used to build more than buy. The attached photo is a model is made from an old kit See iif you can identify it 
Scored some brass
Found these at a thrift shop today, I don’t know anything about them.I know they don’t fit in with freight trains..lol
(updated) On30 Mogul & 4-6-0 options (early rail)
Dear all,
I am hoping that everyone is having a great summer. I am looking into adding a Mogul or a 4-6-0 next to the couple of Porters that i will have in my On30 small layout (1870s - 1880s, old-West style freelanced, 18" curves if i use a Mogul, ~20" if a 4-6-0 is chosen).
The idea is to have a Porter haul a mine (ore) run train from a town area (steamboat landing) up to the mines' area and back down to the stamping mill placed a bit beyond (near) the town (or even replace the mill with an ore dock for steamboat transfer of the ore).
A few more to figure out
The -8 is just parts, don’t know what real engine name, the smaller one is complete.
Kemtron locomotives
Hi everyone, I’m new here. I just bought these 2 locomotives from a thrift store for 35.00 out the door. I know they are kemtron, does anyone have any idea what the 2-8-2 is in make and model of the real thing? These are painted brass and need some work. I had a Lionel 027 as a kid and loved trains ever since.I am working on a Christmas tree train for my girlfriend.
