Three of my four MTH engines are from the old PS1 days and occasionally stall on certain parts of my layout due to the fact that they have the old single roller electrical pickups. My fourth engine is a PS2 engine and came equipped with the dual rollers instead. Because it has a total of 4 electrical pickup points, it never stalls.
I have looked into replacing the single rollers on the PS1 engines with the new dual rollers and I know it's possible, the problem is that I can't find the rollers anywhere.
My local train store has ordered them for me, however MTH seems to be moving very slowly because the order was placed 2 months ago yet they have still not been shipped to the store.
I've never attempted to get parts from MTH so I don't have much experience with this. Are they normally this slow? Would it be faster if I called MTH and ordered them directly? Should I go to the nearest authorized MTH service center and try and get them there?
Any advice would be great.
Thanks!
