G Scale indoors, O Tinplate, Micro Layouts

Just what did I buy off eBay?
It's hand built, it's large scale, but it ain't G gauge. Near as I can figure this was built for a standard gauge section on a narrow gauge layout. Gauge looks like 2.5" it's all hand made, even the wheels are turned wood. The drive is a cordless screwdriver and it's very well done. But it's going to have to be rebuilt for the outside layout. Haven't decided what to do with it. Once upon a time I could just grab a couple Aristo centercab blocks, but those are rare as dragons’ teeth today.
It came with an ore car. The ore car will convert to a hopper pretty straightforward, but the engine is going to be interesting
(edit) yes those ARE drill bits for axles, don't ask me why
