HI folks,
I am working on my Mantua General I got from e-bay. I have striped and repainted so far. Now I am trying to get all the parts to put it back together.I would like to know was there ever a headlight that worked for the General also is there a larger headlight bottom plate so flags can be installed? I have a bunch of pictures from a sight in the US so I would like to put as many of the exact parts on as I can. I have installed sand pipes from the sand dome to the front drivers and they look cool. I am also installing some pipe work that did not come on the original model. Does anyone have the gasket for the tender that goes between the frame and the wood box.If anyone can help me out here that would be great. Well after some time in hospital and all the testing a guess I will be around for a while yet.
I would to thank all who purchased items from in the last 2 weeks. Thanks you..
Have a good one.

Hi Ken,
Thanks for the info. I have that same info but if I put washers I will still have a thin gap between the frame ans the wood box. I thought if I had a gasket that would fill the space. I can grind off the logs on the bottom of the wood box and it will fit the way it should. Thanks again.
