I have some older Williams passenger cars that I bought at some point (can't remember where or when). They are Reading Company cars with coal country town (e.g. Mt. Carmel) names for each car in the set. When I finally got ready to use them, I noticed that the spring that fits in the couple for one car the  is not functioning. Does anyone know a source for this part? I would also like to replace some of the plastic pieces into which the pickups fit. Are these available as well? Thanks, Paul

If they are scale heavyweights you will have a very hard time finding trucks for them and you will have to use a different brand. They don't make those cars or parts for them anymore.  If your cars are some other type, there is a slim chance you can find them on the Bachmann web-site. If you don't see the parts on the site don't waste your time contacting them to see if they can help. They can't and won't. Franko Timko may be able to help. I don't have his contact info. Maybe someone else can provide his contact info. Brasseur trains may be able to provide a suitable replacement.  Good luck.

I have taken a few sets of Williams passenger cars that suffered from the zinc pests and have swapped over MTH passenger car trucks. I had to do some rewiring and isolating of the trucks from the frames, but I have done it and they look a lot nicer with the MTH trucks under the Williams cars. If you want to know anymore details, let me know.
