Were is the engine made.

Westinghouse makes their own motors and they are dependable and have a cast iron sleeve and they have a 3 year warranty on them. You would have to contact the company in order to find where the engine is made.

it is independently powered, a small belt turns the beater, so I guess there's a small engine somewhere. I'm not a whiz on this...it could be the suction turning the belt...sorry...

It's a 2-stroke, which is what I understand is the best for small equipment. The fuel is a mixture of gas and oil.

I just googled what engine to purchase and found it that way. I hope this helps :)

The unit is shaped like a can. The end that looks like a lid faces the engine and the tank is in the other end so the flow is from right to left as you view it in this picture.

Yes, i'm pretty sure. It was a gift for grandchildren in another state, so I don't see the set very often, but I'm confident there was supposed to be an engine and a caboose.

2 stroke engine - not much smoke though... A great little machine and I have used it a lot more since the review.

Yes it is a complete engine, needing only to be filled with oil and gas, and connected to the electrical system.

I'm not a mechanic, but that seems like a big carburetor for that small of a motor.

2 yrs on the engine by Briggs and Stratton. 3 yrs on the mower by Husqvarna

No, the engine does not need to be built. There are three pieces that can be taken off of the engine, the smoke stack, the red part with the train numbers and the blue window. On the passenger car, four pieces can be removed, the two blue windows and the two red squares.

Agree with the first response - when the engine has to furnish power for a larger electrical load, it will necessarily have to work harder, and somewhat louder. This applies for Normal operation.

The cars and tracks are modular so yes. The only thing is the engine has limited power.

I'm not sure what that means, but I cannot imagine that an engine would be designed to last only 50 hours.

It's metal--you specifically asked about the engine block, not the pedestal--the model parts are metal.

It is not...also 2 strokes don't have a combustion problem. If it pings...it's a tuning issue.
