I LOVE the early Mantua cars!

Simply elegant and beautiful in design and function. Evokes a
grand time now gone. The marker lights by the door are a
great little touch, as is the conductor hanging out the door
looking back. Isn't that the Mite that you rebuilt practically
from scratch? Fine look pieces and the granite dells
remain your signature touch.

| Nice looking set there Frank. Is that a previous layout of yours with the different levels? Thanks folks for the nice words on my post.

| Jeff, those little hex bolts around the door weren't intended to be marker lights. I was looking for something more secure to assemble the body with as opposed to the little nails that come from the factory and are to be "bent" to fasten parts.

Well, they sure look like they belong! At first I though the silver
hex over the door was a gong or a bell or something 'till I blew
the photo up!
Loving that back drop and short dimension village on that layout,
Frank. It has an engaging visual texture.
