I am the proud owner of a GMC 4-6-0 Camelback-New One Model in pieces. Would I be lucky enough that someone would have such a beast in their junk box they would part with

*Ken : You are a luckey guy. You have the upgraded Mantua 0-6-0 drive , GHC body camelback. It looks like you got it in kit form. Sometimes nothing is easy for us old guys. I hope you get it together and running soon.
* Good luck with it.

| I have the original with the 0-4-0 New One drive. Unfortunately the original comm is cracked. I have lined up a Mantua drive from an 0-4-0 and found that the holes line up perfectly as does all of the valve gear. Only thing stopping me is that the 0-6-0 would look so much better. If you need parts for the drive you can swap the Mantua 1-1 with little work.
