Looks like a poor man's Bobber! It's certainly unusual, and even has underbody detail! I looked at a pile of photos and the only thing I saw close was another model!

I like it.
Do not wait to strike till the iron is hot; but make it hot by striking.

Pretty sure that's the Empire-Midland (?) import of the D&LW bobber that came with two cupolas, one for each of the window configurations the prototype had. Mine has a card in the box indicating made in 1978. Nice model for 1978. Not sure what the rational was for the C&O paint job for the one on eBay. These typically have gone in the $100 range - a 50% discount for having to deal with that paint job seems reasonable....
