For a ~real~ old timer, look for a Northwestern (or Nor-West) General.
Available in HO I got one to build a diorama around. Maybe this
winter. It came in either a whole train or individual cars and
generally aren't too pricey.
I have one that I built probably in the '80s. It has been disassembled
because I was dissatisfied with the build, & I bought another whole kit
at our local kit collectors expo for about $7. It's on my shelf to be built.
From what I recall it came out in the late 1960s at about $12 for the
kit when first released. Ah, the joy of waiting a few years if you
have the space to store it!
