Mantua 2-10-0 ?

Paul
 

Hi All.
Ok this might be the first sign my memory is failing. I loved Mantua
Steam locos and kits growing up some (blank) years ago. My Wife got
me a Mantua 2-10-0. I never herd of this model. There was a RMC
artical to kitbash one and I did that(sorry I sold it). This one
looks to have a flywheel on the back of the motor. Seems like all standard Mantua parts and tender. Can anyone give a history and is
this real Mantua or after market knock off? Memory is the second thing
that goes.....I forgot what the first was....Paul G. in Fl
 

Yeah, it's legit.? I remember seeing ads for this 'way back when, and more recently(1980s?) too. Usually in RMC and/or MR. Check your way back issues...

Mantua did produce a 2-10-0 decapod kit for a brief time. The URL for the first page of a circa 1980 decapod instruction sheet is


Go to the HOSeeker web site under Literature - Mantua - Instructions/Part Numbers - Steam Engines - 2-10-0 Decapod 1980 for the remainder of the instructions.

Yes it is real!? In later years Mantua started combining parts into new locos like the Berkshire and the Decapod.

And what was the other thing I forgot ? And you are ? They didn't make many of them , and yes the parts were "standard" Mantua production pieces ! Henry H.
