But none appear to be Monon

Nice Atlas type C, seems to be 2 ft ga. Missing battery cover, and it full of batteries. Rated at 3.5 MPH

Dawg, if you haven't seen it, you might be innerstid in "Building a 7/8n2 Atlas Type H mine locomotive" March/April 2003 Narrow Gauge & Short Line Gazette. It looks about the same as this one.

This is the index:

I don't really know, Matthew. There were no stenciled build dates. Maybe there is some info on it that I didn't see. I guessing steam cranes were made later than steam loco's because of the torque available from steam, but that's just a guess.
