Aristo Brick for the Little Critter
Posted by ghelman on Sunday, June 17, 2007 9:10 AM

Does anyone know where you can get an Aristo power brick for the Little Critter? Or one similar?

 

Thanks

You can usually get one from Aristo.

If you're looking for scratch building material, the Heartland Mack Switcher commonly sells for less than $50 and has a nearly bullet proof drive.

Aristo and USA trains both sell power bricks for most of their engines.

 

Go to the Aristo site and look at the technical page and download the critter PDF.

I have tried the PDF for the Little Critter from the Aristo site. For some reason it shows the power brick but it is not listed on their parts list. Does anyone know if any of their other locomotives us ethe same brick as the critter?

 

Thanks

Yeah I tried to buy stuff from Aristo one time and got 1/2 or less. Called to find out what and why and they said (them) "When we get it in Sir." (me) "So, can back order it?" (them) "No. You will have to wait later and call in." So, thast was last time I ordered parts.

I am not sayn there parts are not great but what I am sayn is to Call them! Use PDF as a ref.#. Just FYI and my 1 1/2 penny.....
