MTH Parts

Check with Chuck Sartor of the Forum, he seems to have a good supply on hand of MTH parts. And I understand what you mean that MTH hasn't been any help, it's worse if you are a repair facility and trying to get parts. At least the public deals with Midge who really knocks herself out trying to help thye public.

MTH supposedly has an on-line system where you can set up an account with your charge card and then order parts by their number.

Is that still an option?

It doesn't matter if they don't have the parts. Also, MTH doesn't have online diagrams for a lot of their products, so you wind up having to call Midge anyway. I've never been able to complete an MTH parts order without a phone call or e-mail exchange with Midge. Never. 

I went to York with anticipations of being able to get parts that I needed for repairs from the MTH Parts booth in the Orange hall.  HA-HA to me for being so silly in my hopes.

I needed 3 coupler shafts because the knuckles broke off - NOPE.  No shafts, no knuckles.  Jeff advised me to call Midge this week.  Jeff sort of has me wondering though because when he looked at the trucks that I brought he wasn't sure that I could still get "that style" of shank.  WHAT?

I also was hoping to get some replacement lights for my blinking construction accessory but they can't be had either.

So I was 0 for 5.

What is the production number of this engine. There are those here that might be able to help but we need to know exactly what engine you are working on.

Dream on!   While they have some sort of on-line ordering, you can never find a parts list or diagrams to get a part number.  Pretty hard to do an on-line order without a part number!

Hi Burlington Quincy I have a lot of MTH parts can you show me a photo

of what you need and I can see if I have it.

All the parts I have are new.

THANKS, ALEX

Walt, can you post a photo of the part?  I might have some in my parts box (I've switched to all Kadee couplers).

I checked my inventory for the part BD-0000039. Sorry I can't help you. I have part # BD-0000009, BD-0000024, and BD-0000025 but not the one as listed above.

Barry... Barry?

Chuck I knew if anyone had them in stock it would be you, that's why I posted the first response to this thread was to contact you.

Did Barry write a book on parts now too?

hello Chuck Sartor.......

I am sorry things didnt work out with the kato 2-8-2. I didnt know you sell MTH parts as need a few parts as spares to keep my railking imperial challenger running. Do you have such parts like 2 motor plates p/n Bl-1200001, 1 spacer lD-1030001, 1 rubber gasket ring (for smoke unit), 1 headlight lens FA-1230020, pick up insulator( bottom) (black plastic)BD-0000001, 2 roller pick ups BD-0000025.  Do you carry motors and engine drive trucks (front and back) ?

Tiffany,

It would be better if you emailed Chuck directly. His email is listed...just a thought.

hello guys and gals.........

would chuck sartor's e-mail be "mizelltrains@cs.com" is that correct ?

Dear Chuck and all,

Here is a pic of the same truck with pickups on another locomotive.  It's from a dummy engine lighting upgrade kit that I came across at a swap meet and kept a while - then when I went to put it to use I discovered it was missing the pickup insulators.  Well you get what you pay for I guess...

There are dual pickups per truck.  Chuck, if you have these insulators I'll be forever grateful.

Thanks to everyone for your help and advice.  I have been in touch with Midge at MTH and while she's nice, I don't think she has this part?  I have an order in with her for a few months now and nothing has shipped so far.
