Mantua was bought by Model Power and is still being made (in China) under the Mantua Classics line. I don't know about all, but the first Mantua release was an all-metal box car that was way, way too heavy to actually run. Check the Model Power Web site for information about what has or is going to be produced.

In part, Mantua got out of the train business approx three to four years ago.
Subsequent manufacturing/distribution is be handled by www.modelpower.com 1-800-628-2803

This an more of an informational question.
Are mantua cars still being made?
If not,when did they stop?
I have several with numbering prefix 739-xxx.When might these have been made?
The above mentioned cars are not of the quality from cars I have from the '60s,which in my opinion were better.
Thanks in advance.
