Rule #2: Why buy when you can barter?
Mantua HO scale 0-4-0 "Shifter" with slopeback tender circa 1960.
I owned one in the eighth grade that had a missing motor and smokebox cover. It was my first weathering victim and I longed for the day I could get the parts to get it running again. Sadly, I lost it many years ago in a move. In a recent online trade with another modeler who needed a particular parts locomotive, when he asked what I would like in return, I said, "Surprise me." He did.
