Mostly This old Mantua steam engine seems have better days in past. I got it at a swap meet. After some work cleaning wheels, changing wires, it runs and has personality.
Also have a Tri-ang boxcar with the weirdest proportions I’ve ever seen—doesn’t really match anything else on the layout, but I keep it in the consist because it always gets a comment or two when people see it.
Occasionally the most fun to operate are these strange, unknown, or extinct brand goods. Part of the appeal is their background story.
