Anybody seriously interested in brand new manatua steam,B&O 2-8-2 Heavy Mikado, UP 4-6-2 Light Pacific, PRR 2-8-2 Mikado for $100.00 plus$7.00 and articulated loggers for $120.plus $7.00. Mantuas are made in NEW JERSEY, guaranteed for life and have metal boilers.
I've only seen magazine photos of Mantua, <UL TYPE=SQUARE>what kind of 'metal' is the boiler made of, ie can it be soldered/drilled etc? What kind of motors do they use? Are the wheels the RP25 standard and are the drivers all metal? Is the tender shell metal? The detailing looks sparse [that's ok they don't cost $600.00]is it also metal? [/list]If it's more convienient just e-mail me the info. Thanks [ 01 June 2001: Message edited by: ChrisDante ]
MANTUA UP DATE. I RECENTLY LEARNED THAT MODEL EXPO INADVENTENTLY MIXED UP THEIR DEALER MAILINGS WITH THEIR RETAIL CUSTOMERS AND I RECEIVED A DEALER COST FLYER AND SPREAD THE WORD ALL OVER THE COUNTRY, NOT KNOWING MODEL MADE THAT ERROR. REGRETS.
