Hello,
I am in need of a late-model Mantua GP 20. This loco has the cast metal chassis and 3-pole can motor. Really late models may also have a single, small fly wheel. I will take with or without the flywheel. Any road name/number.
Thanks!!

| A Model Power version would also work, but may cost more then I can shell out at the moment!

Is This Cheap Enough?

| Right loco, but way too high for me at the moment. Hence why I was looking for the Mantua. The new production Model Power is just too costly at the moment. But thanks for the quick "look up"!

That's the same powered chassis as the one I have. Sent you a regular email.

Ben:
I'm gonna start a "pool" to see who can guss when you will say:
Yuck, I definitely don't want one of those! 
Paraphrases tolerated!

Don't know if you got one already but I have seen the model power loco on sale for about 25 bucks on line. Worth looking into.
If you are not having fun, you are not doing it right.
