Can be adapted to the Chiver's Forney, but you have to
do some cutting of the cab and the boiler to clear the motor. Big
improvement over the Bachman mechanism for this purpose

Produced in Japan about 20 years ago by Joe Works for
Flying Zoo. Still shows up
at swap meets once in a while. Screwdriver and some soldering needed to
put together.
