Purchasing parts from MTH?

brrOGR Forum Member

I would like to purchase a couple sets of trucks from MTH for their 64' passenger cars. I'm building some Labelle kits, and the MTH trucks work very well for them. I've got a set of the seperate sale 2-rail trucks for a recently built RPO, but would like a couple sets of 3-rail trucks for lighted cars.

As far as I can tell, you can't even look at MTH's parts without entering all your shipping information and credit card number. Is this correct, or am I missing something on their website? Their website seems very difficult to navigate concerning parts, so I'm wondering if anyone here even knows if the trucks I'm looking for are available from them? I guess I'm used to Lionel's website, which makes the MTH website awkward. Don't really want to give all my info. just to find out the trucks aren't available, or are, but no one is there to ship them.

brr,

What has worked best for me is to just pick up the phone and call MTH. Follow the prompts till you connect with the parts dept. You may get lucky and Midge will answer, but most of the time you will just leave a message as to what you are looking for along with your contact phone number. Usually within a day, sometimes sooner, Midge or Debbie will return your call. At least for me they have always returned my call and been very helpful. If MTH has the parts you are looking for then you can get a total cost including shipping and then give them your credit card info.
