Here are a couple of oldies but goodies (well, maybe not goodies) from the '60s.
First up is an Athearn Little Monster 2-4-2 that I converted to an 0-4-2 because I could never get the pilot truck to stay on the track.

Then we have the ever popular Lindberg switcher. It was one of the earliest models to come with a factory installed "flywheel." The flywheel consisted of 3 or 4 metal washers pressed on to the motor shaft. The wheels were powered by spring and pulley, which worked about as well as the "flywheel."
