Mantua presents the Articulated Logger 2-6-6-2T in 1981. Three ready to run roadnames are released
that year: Sumpter Valley, Uintah Rail, and Weyerhauser. Mantua also provided an Undecorated kit for the Articulated Logger.
By the mid-1980s, Mantua's Logger Series included a trio of exmaples. The original Articulated
Logger 2-6-6-2T was joined by an Articulated Logger 2-6-2 & Tender, plus a Booth Kelly Logger 2-6-6-2T. The original '80s
Loggers featured front and rear independent driver gearing with MG-81 5-pole motor, full working valve gear, operating headlight,
stainless steel handrails, die-cast underframe, operating front and rear couplers, and a diode-controlled backup light.
