Hello, Anyone have a spare or specs on motor/worm gear? Have contacted Wiseman, NWSL, etc., but groups.io have been very good to me - and fast. TIA, Patrick

Group, I just won this item. The seller (who is knowledgeable about a lot of HO items) labeled this as "Mantua". I thought not, because of the crossheads. I just remembered that some of the early Mantua had these "alligator" style ones. I'd like to know the manufacturer.

Is there anyone in the group the has information on the Krauss-Maffai HO locomotive I purchased one that has a large can motor that powers both trucks. The original AHM had one truck powered.. This doesn't look like a kit bash as it looks factory built. Well constructed with the German motor All wheels pick up, but the flanges are a bit larger but not as large as old AHM wheels are.

To the moderator and members of this list. First, let me apologize if you receive multiple copies of this note, as I subscribe to several lists. This past Sunday my email account was hacked. It took some time to undo the damage. I’ve updated security and thoroughly cleaned everything and I think the account is now clean and secure. Thank you for your understanding. Elliot Fishbein

Sorry to bother, you shop on amazo n? Thanks Elliot

I am looking for a Mantua steam engine hardness model MPM-389-9 or equivalent for a Mantua Goat. The existing harness was cut so short it is impossible to attach a DCC decoder harness. Any information on where I can obtain a replacement harness would be greatly appreciated. Al

If we have a monitor or owner here still, will they please speak up and identify themselves? Thank you. Charles Peck

Why not? Get this group going again b From: Pat Leonard 3

Greetings, Wanted to see if it is Ok to post items for sale on this group. I have some old HO Athearn and Mantua/Tyco items I have decided it is time to part with and wanted to see if anyone might be interested? Regards David Bradt

I just acquired a Limited Edition Mantua Classic 4-4-2 Atlantic that was still New In the Box. It is over 20 Years Old. When I tried to Run it on a test track, it ran erratic starting and stopping and shorting out. Does anyone have any ideas as to what would be causing the problem and any suggestion on how to fix it? Also is there anyway to upgrade this engine to DCC?

Years ago I install an after market valve gear on a Mantua 0-4-0. was that made by Central Valley? thanks Ron Christensen

I have a few older, 60s to 80s, brass locos that I would like to repower and install DCC. Can anyone here recommend a good source of can motors? Thanks Jim

Has anyone bought this can motor repower kit for the Mantua 4-6-2's and 4-6-4's? https://www.ebay.com/itm/114895646009?hash=item1ac0506d39:g:FaAAAOSw199gTnP0 Just curious what's involved in the conversion and any reviews of performance. Thanks, Jason P

Awhile back our club inherited several Athearn F-7's (and one PA-1) from a gentleman here in the Birmingham area that had passed away. At first, I noticed the engines were heavier than normal and looking at the four holes in the bottom that are normally for the motor mounts were filled in. I knew something was up and I popped off the shell to find a huge can motor and flywheels that were nearly as wide as the carbody. For HO scale, this motor is an absolute beast. There are no clear ID marks alluding to the usual suspects like NWSL, A-Line, Hobbytown. etc. The only marks I can find on the motor are "Holland". Can anyone give some background on this repowering? Is this (or was this) part of a complete kit or is this something that would had to have been put together piecemeal with separate components? These engines run fantastic and pull well. I wish we had more of them, especially a couple of more of the PA's. Thanks in advance, -Jason Parham

I know this is a common problem, and I just wonder if anybody has come up with a solution. I have a vintage Bachmann Plus 2-8-0 with drivers that have cracked nylon axles. I have tried super glue to no avail, and replacement axles are, to the best of my knowledge, unavailable. This is about the third set of axles that have cracked on me. Just what kind of crap is this? The rest of the loco seems OK. Any tips ?? Thanks

I have several Mantua power drive motors for my mikados, pacifics, and atlantics. They have different gear boxes, but all gear boxes will hook up to the motor with the plastic tube that you slip over both shafts. Unfortunately, I need a few of these, and of course Mantua is long gone. Does anybody know where I can get these? Thanks

I asked this a couple of years ago, didn't get an answer for the 2-8-0's. I need to get a few regear kits for my unbuilt MDC kits. NWSL has a a kit that fits 1998 and later kits. But how does one tell which are pre-19998 and which are post-1998? Are all brown flat boxes pre-1998? Any help would be appreciated ... Mike Conder
