Today I received the following 2 MTH items:

20-20525-1 - Florida East Coast (Red/White/Blue) SD70M-2 Diesel Engine

20-44053 - Southern Pacific 70' Madison Coach Car (Buy War Bonds - Marines)

Went to the MTH website - Service pages - and tried to find Owner's Manuals for both. No such Luck

I could only find Owner's Manuals for SD70Mac diesel engines. Is that the same as the SD70M-2? Also looking for Parts List.

Couldn't find any Owner's Manuals or Parts List for the Coach Car.

I just browsed the MTH website on your behalf.  First, you don't want the owner's manuals.  When you have a product up on your screen, look under the "Support" tab and choose the last icon on the right (sorry, I don't know how to describe it).  That will bring up a parts list and product assembly diagram.

With respect to your engine type, every SD70M-2 that I examined either had no data or brought up the data for another engine, typically another SD70 variety.  You might try contacting MTH to see if the parts and diagrams are interchangeable (with some minor variations) for all their SD70 type engines.

Why would I not want the Owner's Manuals?

As I mentioned in my post, I did review each product's pages - especially the support tab and didn't find anything - hence the post.

MTH does a lot of things well.  Part lists and manuals are not among them.  If I can’t find the operator’s manual or parts list for one of my engines or passenger cars, I try to find one for an engine or car that was produced around the same time frame.  Generally, that has worked well.  MTH passenger cars are fairly generic so you should be able to find something that works for your coach.  They did put out some Premier parts guides in 2015.  While I don’t see your exact product numbers there, it might be close enough.
