Parts for a steamer

[Anonymous]

I need a part for a Mantua pacific. I cannot locate the company on line. Does any one know who handles parts? This is a good running loco about eight or nine years old,but. I broke the cow catcher off.

Mantua got out of the train business three years.
The unit is now part of www.modelpower.com

Mantua's out of business. Model Power bought their dies. Try them modelpower.com/ . If not, buy a junker on Ebay for parts.

Alternately, look at the detail parts at Walthers'

Thanks for the help, I was abel to contact Model Power and spoke to the Mantua parts department. They don't have it in stock but the parts man is going to try some alternate sources.

I read the topics on a regular basis and I am impressed with the quality of the responses. The old hands, (time in the hobby not always time on earth) give so wiilingly of their hard earned knowledge. Thanks again

And their locos had a lifetime warranty. Never thought I would out last them
