Hello All, I just saw a listing on Ebay for a Mantua diesel switcher. It's in the 80's-90's blue box, and it's a Southern EMD --looks like an NW-2 or something. The undercarriage looks to be foreign, like Tyco's Austrian stuff. I've never seen this before--anyone have info on this? (Search Mantua Diesel in Ebay). Chris

Nope, it's a EMD SW-1 by AHM. Mantua never made anything like that!
