    1978 Mantua 0-6-0 Steam Locomotives

    Normally I don't buy stuff like this, but there was several nice trains that I picked up today. Train is dirty and as I purchased it. They will get cleaned later.

    "The first group presented in 1978 included three road names: New York Central, St. Regis, and U.S. Navy for ready-to-run releases (retailing for $30 each). An undecorated Little Six kit sold for $27 at the time."

    "Mantua’s 1978 catalog promoted this Little Six 0-6-0 steam locomotive as, (d)esigned for yard work, a typical cut for an 0-6-0 was about six cars. Even when at work, the switcher was waiting more of the time than actually working. It had a small firebox."

      Looks like a type of saddle tanker although the tank isn't over the boiler like in a saddle tanker. These carried their own fuel and water with no tender and usually worked on short lines.
