  And this one with matching post card

  I remembered seeing the post-card engine somewhere.  I don't know who made it, though I have my suspicions.  The "Hero" "Ajax" and "Empire" engines are featured in the 1880 Ives, Blakeslee & Co. catalog.  There are accessories on page 106, and The steam engines are on pages 105-107.  The Ajax is on page 106.  Price is $10/doz.
  
  Thanks Charlie for jogging my memory.  BTW, the price for the Hero has doubled from the ad you sent.
  

  
  Was Ives a maker? Or a re-seller?
