I got this older Tyco (mantua also) engine, have no clue what it was suppose to be?



Maybe some of you guys might remember it

Interesting little thing there! I've never seen anything like it before.

This is a model of a Plymouth (Fate-Root-Heath) 60 Ton Model CR-4. Here are a couple of links to photos of a prototype.

Hope this helps.

60 tons on two axles is about the maximum for US rails.

I Have one of those that I Have bin meaning to redo. I original detailed and painted it when I was around 12.[attachment=5681]

Nice model and nice photo, E-Paw! Love the little loco and the paint job is sweet! Photo is crisp and clean. Thanks for sharing that!

Wow, thanks guys, now all I got to do is figure out what kind of paint job to give it

Cool...TYCO Industrial Diesel, from the 60s Red Box era... <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.ho-scaletrains.net/locomotives/id1.html">http://www.ho-scaletrains.net/locomotives/id1.html</a><!-- m -->

Tom ... Do you have access to the March '62 Issue of Model Railroader?

If you would like a copy of the review, PM me. I recently acquired the 1962 year of Model Railroader and I could probably be convinced to make a copy and send it to you if you need it.

there are motor trucks out there with can motors that are DCC ready that you can repower this with, though they cost, and i know you like to keep things frugal.
