Is there a source for MTH HO scale locomotive parts?
Posted by Morpar on Monday, October 16, 2023 8:26 PM

I picked up an HO scale MTH cab-forward locomotive this weekend from an estate sale. The locomotive is missing the two-wheel trailing truck and platform over the cylinders and may need a new drawbar if I can't fix the broken off wires without ruining it. It looks as though the former owner may have started trying to fix the drawbar before passing and the parts got separated from the model. Are there any sources for these parts from the OEM, or should I look into maybe adapting parts from a Rivarossi cab-forward instead? Or perhaps there are some other suggestions on how to repair this loco??

Good Luck, Morpar

Might try Scaletrains as they purchased the HO Scale MTH line.

Rule 3: Illuminating discussion of prototype history, equipment and operating practices is always welcome, but in the event of visitor-perceived anacronisms, detail descrepancies or operating errors, consult RULE 1!

OP, try Model Train Depo apparently the guy specializes in MTH HO repairs and was able to acquire lots of MTH parts before they gave up on their MTH line.
