Mantua Classics 0-6-0T "before"

This is my HO Scale Mantua 'Classics' 0-6-0T purchased from Yardbird Trains. This is the 'before' shot; before I tweak the running and add DCC, before I add detail and repaint. Still, it's a great engine as-is. Filmed on location at Murdock's Landing, courtesy of the Ocali Creek Railway.

Nice engine, and nice layout btw! Any other vid on it?

[ocalicreek]

@epiculo2 Not yet but hopefully in a few months. Thanks for the comments!

[MrMuddshovel]

is there an after ?

[ocalicreek]

@MrMuddshovel Not yet...still working on it from time to time. I've moved since I made this vid and am building a new layout. Sorry to leave you hanging! I have requartered the drivers and rebuilt the crosshead guide and it runs much better now.

I got one of those, really good runner, brand new

however, modified her oil bunker so it looks like a coal bunker, and gave her makers

[ocalicreek]

@ColumbiaAndHoodRiver Any pictures of your conversion? I'll be adding a coal bunker to this one as well. No plans for marker lights, but piping on the compressor and reworked headlights.

[MrMuddshovel]

I dislike the third blind driver on these .

[epiculo2]

@ocalicreek Okay, i'll be eagerly waiting!

[ColumbiaAndHoodRiver]

@ocalicreek i send ya some, also, shorten the aircompresser so it is up against the boiler, and not sticking out 4 miles
