well seems im on a roll this week! a mini ahm lot and a mantua 4-6-0 in one week!! After buying some items off a criaglist lot, i still had enough to buy the mantua 4-6-0 rio grande dixiebell i really wanted. Its part of 4 mantua steamers from a guys collection that my favorite train store "the roundhouse" bought. I now have 3/4!! I have the rare Cherry valley logging 2-6-6-2 #25, reading 2-8-2 camelback, and now the rio grande 4-6-0! All thats left is the GN 0-6-0 "big six!" It will be next. The 4-6-0 probably took the least amount of work out of the 3 i have so far! it took 5 minutes to clean and lube it before it was excursion ready. Also bought a conrail caboose, more labelle lubricant, and special glue to install the handrails and my ever so procrastinated MDC 2-8-0 kit.
 heres view #1
 heres the other view
 and for all those who wanted to see, here's the conrail caboose, just needs couplers
I buy, repair, and collect

I agree, that's the best paint job I've seen on the 4-6-0/4-8-0.
