While Gilbert did use the Mantua/Tyco General set for their FY&P old timer in HO, it is just the opposite as to the streamline passenger cars.? Actually Mantua/Tyco used Gilbert streamline passenger bodies on their own chassis in 1959.?? Mantua was phasing out their shorty aluminum cars and didn't have their own plastic versions ready to go yet.? These 1959 Mantua/Tyco by Gilbert are longer cars by about one window than the later Mantua manufactured cars.? For full details see

BTW: Flyer HO also used Mantua streamline passenger cars and used a modified Mantua General set for the HO Frontiersman set.
