Photos From January 2004
This is a vintage Mantua 0-4-0 Switcher from the early 60's and a matching caboose.
I carefully took the engine apart and washed everything.
Then I repainted all the chipped, faded parts and customized it for the Susquehanna Road.
I forgot to take the "before" photos but the finished engine look new.
Here is the vintage Mantua caboose from the late 50's or early 60's.

I also converted to knuckle couplers and added dual lighting.
