Brass plate on 400T

If and when you find a source for your 400 tender's brass plates, please post it here.  I too am looking for plates but what I want is red LIONEL LINES brass plates.

Go to a trophy shop and see if they can make it for you.

maybe a call to midge at mth ,,,?? she is always helpful

MTH should have it

Thank you everyone. Those are good recommendations. I assume it is not too hard to dismantle this to exchange the plates?  I will inspect what I have before I pass on the other tender.

Can I not run a 400E on the MTH Z1000??

It may be a bit more difficult than calling MTH. I was looking for some Lionel plates at one York and the parts guy at the MTH booth told me they don't sell the brand name plates.  I imagine it might have something to do with the LCT agreement that Lionel/American Flyer plates are only to be used on the new LCT tinplate that MTH produces under the LCT license.     I would look at some parts dealers that should have some repro name plates for Lionel trains.   George Tebolt comes to mind or maybe Hennings trains.          http://www.georgetebolt.com/          http://henningstrains.com/

Of course you can!   I run my MTH 400E on a Z1000 brick all the time.  If you have one with PS-2/PS-3 with a can motor it draws a lot less Amps than a conventional AC motor.

Lionel Lines, red, nickel, stick-on plates are available on eBay right now.  Item #

Thanks! I just bought a pair. Hope they work as the plates are listed under O gauge not Standard Gauge. Bob

That happens on EBay.  There is someone selling a standard gauge item and he has "G" gauge mentioned all in the title!
