MTH Bridge | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

I have 2 of these bridges. In less then a year the circuit board that makes the lights blink did not work on both bridges. The bridges were in warranty and Midge replaced both of the circuit boards. The part niumber for the circuit board is AG0000062 and as far as the price I am not sure but maybe around $15.00. I am now running the boards at 10 volts ac and have installed heat sinks on the ouput transistors. The outputs now run with out any heat build up

Thanks Bob K.~

The Wiz Kids have to deal with bean counters about cost, It kills the 'Build it to last Forever' mentality.

It is also possible they got some counterfeit parts in China, that is rampant right now.

I design for a small company that fortunately still believes Quality is of very high importance.

It does make our stuff cost about 10% more in parts. We make it up in very low warranty repair costs.

And We give a 5 year warranty on Industrial Controls !

We also build everything here in New Hampshire.

Small Business is alive and hanging tough here.
