AFTER THE ORIGINAL MANTUA FACTORY IN NEW JERSEY CLOSED ABOUT A DECADE AGO, WE NEEDED TO PURCHASE A LARGE SUPPLY OF PARTS TO HAVE ON HAND FOR OUR TRAIN REPAIR BUSINESS. VIA CONNECTIONS WITH MANTUA & EX-MANTUA EMPLOYEES & OTHERS WE WERE ABLE TO PURCHASE LARGE AMOUNTS OF MANTUA PARTS. THEASE PARTS WERE SOME OF THE LAST PARTS OUT OF THE FACTORY BEFORE AND AFTER IT WAS CLOSED.  THESE ORIGINAL MANTUA FACTORY ORIGINAL PARTS ARE THE LAST OF WHAT WE HAVE LEFT AND WE ARE MAKING ROOM FOR OTHER LOADS OF PARTS.
