MTH Part Number Question

You need to post some pictures of your frame, and the inside of the shell.  There are 2 primary times of smoke unit for PS-2 o-gauge.  One has short legs and the other has long.  A bracket is used for the short leg and it is used in steam primarily.  AA-0000029.

 

The pictures can help me give you a better recommendation.  I also carry smoke unit and have a complete assembly with a bracket.   G 

Smoke unit complete for diesel: (long cast mounting posts) AA-2100000

Smoke unit complete for steam: (short cast mounting posts) AA-0000070

 

John,

You are good at MTH Parts. I sent in a request to MTH, but never received a reply!! Try this; I need the "REAR STEP ASSEMBLY" for a MTH 20-2213-1 F59PH Amtrak Engine. It screws on to the REAR TRUCK. Any ideas What the Part number is or where I can find one??

There's no parts breakdown for any of the F59PH Premier locomotives on the site, so that's one number that has to come from MTH.  There is a procedure for techs to order a part without a part number by using the product number and a text description.  So, if you have a local MTH shop, they can order this for you and see if it's available.

Call Midge.

GGG,

 

Thanks I will call Monday!!

I can't seem to get the shell off as easy as I thought I would be able to take the picture for you.  It is the 1994 Premier Southern Crescent.  There is a black box that has a circuit board mounted on it that I reckon is for the lights and the sleuth smoke unit.  That black box is mounted behind the first driver and it goes into the smoke box preventing the shell from lifting off.  I don't know what I missing getting this thing to come off.  

I second the suggestion to call Midge versus email.It looks like that's what I'm going to do.I have sent numerous emails over the last few weeks with no response.

Do the instructions show you?  Normally MTH shells come off with 3 to 4 screws.  Is there one hidden under the front pilot truck in the center?  G

1. I don't have the instruction sheet, I just recently got this off an auction.  It has the 3 screws, 2 under the cab and 1 under the pilot.  The shell is free from the frame, the only preventing it from coming off is that black box.  It looks like the shell needs to slide forward to clear that box, but the motor prevents that from happening.  Attached is the picture of this obstruction...

I do know that on the larger Premier steam locos, there are 2 screws on the front part of the loco, behind the steam chests, and the boiler come out separate from the running boards, look for 2 screws, one on each side, buried up near the boiler. There should be a way to maneuver the boiler to get the off, if it came that far. Keep us posted. 

What's a good Telephone Number to reach MIDGE???
