Mantua/Tyco F-Unit parts?


 

Hey Guys,


Never thought I'd be going down this road again but, do any of you guys have any Mantua or Tyco F-Unit trucks kicking around?


I have a pristine Chessie F-Unit shell and one brand new Mantua power truck, but will need a "dummy" truck for it. Perhaps also the weight/tank combo. This appears to be a shell that had the tabs to hold the weight/tank combo in place rather than the twin screw model.... there are no plastic bosses in the shell to screw through the tank/weight as on another Mantu Tyco (as embossed on tank weight) that I have...


Can anyone help?


Thanks,

I have a pile of parts, I used the shells for another project. Let me see what I can find, but it might be a few hours.

Or you could even use this opportunity to have a dual-motor F unit and pull your fillings out!

Single motor is fine for a trainset unit...
