Looks like some bits above the footplate LGB, chassis may or may not be. A pic of the underneath would help confirm.
 
is that why I can not find it on ant web site, it is a bit of miss match

That's a shame, both groups are very good people.
Your new loco looks like someone has had some fun making it. Probably unique, but with decent running gear, you should have a lot of enjoyment out of it

The brass frames look well enough made and certainly robust.

the Bachmann Big Hauler G Scale Locomotive And Tender Radio Controlled No9, do it have sound, and smoke built in ?

If it is the same as I bought, using 6 D cells then it has limited sound and smoke. On mine the battery enclosure was rusted and the remote did not work, however as I was converting it to 2.4 ghz and Li-Ion it did not matter.

Is this the one, if so I personally would not touch it, not at that price, does not run and no transmitter, no photos of the battery compartment.

Agree with Jimmy, those green haulers were introduced between 1986 and 1994 so can be of doubtful quality by now. Mine was converted to a different type of loco and still runs but has had little running, the sound ok for its error but not sure about if it had smoke or not. I reviewed mine in Tom Coopers Garden Railway World (one of many titles his mag had) June 1989. I bought it new from Victors in London being likely one of the very first of many to be imported to uk.
 
I have a transmitter for this loco to run, yes he not show a lot of photos but it say it is Radio Controlled and it looks good

You might find you have a lot of work to make it run?

The motors are nothing like the quality of Buhler, and by now (even if it has not been run) the gears may well have split?

You used to be able to get replacement axles/gears, but I haven't looked for several years.

I bought 2 of them, and they run well, but lots of parts missing , so try to make one good one, I know you all think I am a little dum , I know nothing about garden railway but love to see trains running around my garden and looks good and sound right, now I have replased all my old plastic track for good LGB track , loco's run well. I come to this site for help , so please help a member that know nothing but want to know, the trains I want to run must look good with sound and smoke to look real. I also bought this LGB Pennsylvania 210 Model Steam Locomotive 2-4-0 G Gauge with Tender, as the sound not work with my one
