True, but there does not appear to be
a throttle where it ought to be. Maybe
some other entity named Powerhouse
contracted with them and sold the B30
clone as their own in some market.

Interesting point. But, it sure looks like a B30 to me. Oftentimes in these old advertisements the illustrator just missed details. You see this a lot with the early German Steam Toys.
It´s an Empire 32 ;)

That "Powerhouse" engine looks like an Empire B-30 from here!

Better photo. Was 'POWERHOUSE' another brand of engine?
More expensive than I thought they would be in 1950.
Fun catalog to look thru. I'm sure I bought some of their
novelties when I was a youngster. Mixture of offerings
from from the early 19th century thru the postwar period.

I just ran across this Johnson Smith and Co. novelties catalog.
I remember seeing their ads in comic books.
It turns out the catalog had an index, so I looked up steam engines
and on page 133....well you'll see below.
Happy steaming,
Wayne
