I saw this today and had to post it, it's certainly an original design for a case, but not on the cheap side haha!

I'm actually building one of those for a Christmas gift for my ball and chain. I may add the motor kit so it runs on the track you can add to it. The B&C is into trains as much as I am. I have a big G scale setup and dozens of loco's.
I'll use some of my G scale parts to detail the outside appearance, make it look like this one out in the yard.
I saw a scale model of an actual gear driven locomotive similar to the one you pictured at a museum up in Flagstaff a few years ago. It worked at one time:I'm actually building one of those for a Christmas gift for my ball and chain. I may add the motor kit so it runs on the track you can add to it.

There are G scale kits for building a real steam powered loco. Designed to run off butane, some on white gas, a few guys actually make a coal boiler and run them, training the mouse to shovel coal is the hardest part.
The model in my pic is a gear driver, it was designed for logging ops on step grades, very low speeds but a real work horse.
