This is one of the TAKARA TOMY Corporation's earliest motors, where the switch was at the very front of the engine; it operates like the current TOMY motors, but was built differently due to concept plans back then. It's a very rare locomotive to come by nowadays, as is that Thomas & Friends red express coach. Nice finds.
