This is my first Mantua Tyco set called the Action Freight featuring the C430 Alco in ATSF colors. I believe it was issued in '68. The loco box is stored somewhere else in the house. It is what started my interest in the 430 Alco.
Thanks Todd this is a cool idea, and Happy Easter.

I don't have the box, but I believe this set was marketed as "The Broadway Limited" :D

Thanks Ken. It's been in the works off and on for the past two years. Still a few more things I'd like to add Nice NYC set BTW. I really like look of the Mantua streamliners.

I was also going to say "nice layout cheez!" and that I love the NYC passenger set, too. Feel like a copy cat.

I have the NYC set and also the Northern Pacific set. I think they are two of the best-looking streamliner sets.
