Leading off ( again ), here's a rather sad Mantua Pacific ( light? ), missing the front and rear trucks. Man, those items are EXPENSIVE to replace! Seen the rear one sell for over $15 by itself on Ebay, more than once. Sheesh. Anyway, not sure when this will run again, but hopefully one day.

i'd rebuild that 4-6-2 ya got there 
 here's mine! I finally bought the mantua 2-8-2 camelback at my favorite train store. They bought a guys collection of mantua steamers so i've got 2 down and 2 to go i loveee this camelack i bought it for $50. It needed my care, cause it had sat in the original box in the shops display case so they were extatic that i bought it cause they know i'm one of best caretakers towards steamers. I told them i'd be back in a month to buy the mantua 4-6-0 dixie bell D&RG, it was part of the mantua collection so i'm going to reunite them all in my collection where they can all run and be cared for.
I buy, repair, and collect

Try http://yardbirdtrains.com. You will need to email them for the part but they are highly reliable and always get the right item. They can get almost any Mantua part.

I don't have a one track mind. It depends on the turn-out.

Is that a power-trip or just another pick-up line?
