While browsing the vendors at Timonium Saturday, I noticed these two sitting up high on a shelf. Marked $25 each, that's about half what they sell for on Ebay. Both came home with me. I'm getting pretty close to having all these different models of the T-241 switcher now by Mantua. These are two of the toughest to get, I believe.



I don't think I have the Pennsylvania yet.

That's a decent price for them, and generally they are tough to find. I have all the original-series Plymouths, and the only ones tougher are the Bell Telephone and Santa Fe ones. There are some roof color variants on the steel company ones, too. I've always liked these little buggers! Missing a good chunk of the 70's Mantua releases but I've made a few good scores on some, too.

I paid $25 for this one at a show a few years ago. Being an electronics buff, these are right up my alley. I also nabbed an extra handrail set for $5 from the remnants in the Tyco parts drawer at my LHS a few weeks back.



These Plymouths and the Davenports were Tyco's nicest switchers.
