Figured I could put Roundhouse in...
I found these were in a box marked Mantua....and I know I have Mantuas...so I will go look for the box marked Roundhouse, and there they'll be!

Forgot to say on this one...while I generally remove all Kadees that come on these cars, this one is kind of historic. It has the original Kadee, non-magnetic, the rod hanging down is attached to the moving jaw...they uncouple like X2F's do, same ramp. The guys running Kadee tell me there are guys who only use these and are looking for them all the time.

And another one. This one needs the lower coupler box "hoop" rebuilt with a brass rod set into drilled holes, then Mantua couplers installed.

Your metal cars are made by Roundhouse (Model Die Casting) not Mantua.

What he said. Rare, but not highly collectible (with a few exceptions).

I think you're right. These were in a box marked Mantua, but closer inspection indicates Roundhouse.
Now I gotta find the box marked Roundhouse, and the Mantuas will be in it, and I know I have some of those!
I'll fix it.
