volume one, number two a supplement to walthers ho, n&z and big trains reference books CLASSICS Model Power Acquires Mantua Model Power is pleased to announce its acquisition of Mantua Industries. A respected manufacturer of locomotives and rolling stock for model railroaders since 1926, Mantua is headquartered in Woodbury, New Jersey. Together these manufacturers have a total of over 110 years of experience and service to the model railroad industry. Model Power has purchased all HO tooling, molds, parts and dies from Mantua Industries and retains rights to the name “Mantua.” Model Power will also be forming a new division called Mantua Classics whose initial production plans for 2003 include the following locomotives: Pacific, Berkshire, 2-6-6-2, 2-6-6-0, Camelback and 0-6-0 Tank. The overall goal will be to produce quality products, fine-tune performance, enhance detail and dramatically cut the prices of steam locomotives. For modelers concerned about what this acquisition means in terms of products and customer service, here are steps now being taken by Model Power: 1. Most parts are or will be in stock 2. Metal boiler locomotives will be made with extra details not previously included 3. Steam locomotives will be DCC compatible with an 8-prong receiver 4. Tenders will be made with electrical pickup 5. Drive trains for F7s will be flywheel driven and carry the high-tech F7 metal body used in Model Power’s MetalTrain™ Model Power is proud to offer its customers more—more details, more quality and performance, more choices— with Mantua Classics. -
The Watertown Express and the 'Hog and Human': Passenger Service In

The WATERTOWN EXPRESS and the "Hog and Human": M & StL Passenger Service in South Dakota 1884-1960 DONOVAN L. HOFSOMMER In mid-July of 1960 editors of the Minneapolis Tribune found much on the regional scene that they judged to be newsworthy: Minnesotans were heavily engaged in political debate anticipating the general elections of the coming fall; the Hill Lines were rebuffed in their attempts to consummate a huge railroad merger: the speeding AFTERNOON HIAWATHA was derailed near Saint Paul, resulting in injury to several persons; Minneapolitans were enjoying the annual Aquatennial Celebration; and it was hot. One important event was overlooked by the Minneapolis journalists, however. On 21 July passenger service by the Minneapolis & Saint Louis Railway between Minneapolis and Watertown, South Dakota, ended forever. At 10:30 P. M. on 20 July train number thirteen quietly slipped out of the trainsheds at the Great Northern depot in Minneapolis for the last time; its counterpart number fourteen had made its final departure from Watertown an hour and one-half earlier. Without hoopla and almost without notice, a seventy-six year tradition of service ended when these two trains reached their respective terminals in the misty morning hours of 21 July.' 1.
