ogaugeguy posted:I would venture a guess, GRJ, that Lionel has developed an on-line detailed parts listing out of necessity - to counter balance the difficult situation people & service techs encounter from Lionel's dismal quality control issues while on the other hand, MTH, has no urgent need for such a detailed consumer repair parts listing due to far fewer cq issues.
Au Contraire! Lionel has had parts on-line forever, and I spend a LOT more time looking for MTH parts because they don't have them on-line.
Contrary to your contention, I actually run across quite a few parts that I need from MTH. Since there is no reference to many parts is accessible to dealers or end users, it's frequently difficult and time consuming to find them! While you can argue that Lionel has had a few clinkers lately, I still need plenty of MTH parts. I have a major issue finding part numbers of something I haven't already bought and have a record of.
