I just found one on the Hoseeker website, but could not copy the photo, only
the link to the website. If anybody has, or knows, where there are maybe one or
two of these engines, I may have a deal for you.

Well, scratch that Great Idea, I guess. What's it going to take to get a
mid-(Civil War period) 19th Century 4-4-0 and rolling stock to match, assuming
I would live long enough to see it?
I already know what I could do with the Franklin passenger cars.

The. A/F Franklin in S IS an interesting beastie. Drive is basically from
a 302. Smoke unit is HO. Engine and cars are oversized. Working on
installing Amber lighting strips from DALLEE in 2 coaches.Lots of Franklins
around, far fewer Washington sets around.
The H O version is highly prized and hard to find AFAIK there is one on
display at NTTM, I put it on the shelf.

The Mantua HO General 4-4-0 came out before W W II. The first loco I ever
owned. Die Cast

Re: {S-Scale List} AF Mantua-based 4-4-0
boB
Am I understanding this...you are looking for an HO something from which to
build an S scale Civil War era 4-4-0? If so you might have better luck going up
a scale to O. Bachmann's On30 4-4-0 broke my heart because its prototype was
just to tiny to convert to S standard gauge, but if might work for a small
1860s-era loco. Also if you hold on to your old Dispatches, check page 19 of
the June 2003 issue. Paul Raham converted a Northwest Short Line On3 Spartan
series loco into a fine looking S standard gauge engine. He did say it was a
lot of work and I don't know how many if any of that loco are stall to be found.
Cheers
Jim.
