Hi ?, Fortunately, I do not have any Athearn's steam locomotives, only Diesels, and old ones at that. No split gears as of today. Joel Holmes

I don't recall anyone mentioning Mantua gear splitting, but maybe I missed is. Memory says Mantua used nylon. They don't seem to split. If you have Athearn steam (late) and haven't split an axle

Hi Denis, I know this response is late, I have been out of town for over 3 weeks. I have several Mantua 4-6-2 and 2-8-2's with plastic gears. So far, none has split. I have about 30 of Mantua's and

It’s more likely that neither is usable. Remember that the primary reason why the boiler isn’t usable is because of an engineering problem that the Pennsy created over 70 years ago, and not just

Has there ever been any thought to restoring this one? There's about as much chance of that as of Southern 1401 running again. Remember that the RR Museum of PA is an actual government-owned museum,

I know this may sound like pipe dreaming with aromatic herbs, but it is possible (NOT very likely) that the boilers could be swapped out if the Strasburg loco will always be a dispaly piece. This

What about the other K4 that is still at the Pennsy Museum at Stratburg? Has there ever been any thought to restoring this one? Richard in Vermont
