Up for sale today I have one of my steam loco projects which I'll probably never
get done. It started life as a Mantua "Big Six" 0-6-0 switcher. Here's what I've
added to it:
Mantua USRA small tender (NYC lettering can be removed if desired)
Bowser handrail posts
Cal-Scale air compressor
Cal-Scale marker lights
Cal-Scale pop valve and whistle cluster
Cal-Scale Pyle headlight
Cal-Scale generator
Front pilot casting from IHC 2-8-2
Athearn modified 28" wheelsets for lead and smokebox trucks
Kadee #5 couplers
This is a very smooth runner and has one of the best Mantua motors I've ever
seen. She throttles up very quietly and runs extremely smooth. With the cast
metal boiler, it is also very powerful – I've had it pull 12 50' metal-wheel
boxcars, but it is capable of more.
All that needs to be done is paint, decals and mounting of the front and rear
wheelsets (clearance notches have already been filed). You could add a Mantua
valve gear kit if you wish; Yardbird Trains has these kits available.
It closely resembles a 2-6-2 built by MLW for the Thurso and Nation Valley
Railway in Quebec, as that was the intended product of the work I've done, but
it could be a nice little generic 2-6-2 for your own road.
Asking $35 or best offer plus shipping. I accept Paypal or postal money order. I
live in Canada so please expect a slightly longer shipping time. I will send via
Canada Post parcel post unless otherwise specified, and the loco will be insured
against shipping damage at no extra charge. Please send me an e-mail if you are
interested!

Hey Kris;
Nice unit and I'm tempted but I'm not in the market for a "Prairie" and then there's that unemployed thing...
I hope you get a buyer for it though.
