Restoring an old friend, my Mantua Pacific

[doctorwayne]

That's already looking much-improved.

I have one, belonging to a friend, that also needs a little tlc, but it seems to be in pretty good shape except for the fact that he removed the headlight, along with much of the detail of the smokebox front. He has a fairly nice brass tender that will replace the original, and the whole thing will, of course, need repainting.

Here's another Mantua that's had a bit of a makeover, including a can motor and NWSL gearbox:





This one, long since sold, got a new cab and tender from MDC, along with a revised front end:
