Restoring an old friend, my Mantua Pacific

[secondhandmodeler]

Thanks guys. I'm happy just to see this thing running again. Granted, it doesn't look a thing like it did when I was a kid, but I know it's the old girl. I was quite pleased with my track work while running this thing full speed forward and backwards through all of my curves and turnouts.

Gus, I haven't noticed anything wrong with my pilot truck at all(knock on wood ).

Dr. Wayne, that's funny you said that! I hadn't realized the damage until watching the video myself. I must have rammed it with my hand while cleaning all the track with an alcohol soaked t shirt.
