They aren't there, because I have not created them yet. There are 160 exploded view part lists in the system this far (the culmination of work over the last 10 months) (the part lists that I have been through have all the PS-1, PS-2 and PS-3 mechanical parts on one list, for instance the Premier Big Boy includes 8 separate production runs worth of mechanical parts on ONE exploded view list) I have roughly 3000 to go and I am basically a 1-man band creating part lists. If you don't see it, check back often. We are going to try to email everyone on the MTH mailing lust an update every month with what lists have been added. I also "trying" too keep up with current production stuff too, but I also work full time at TW Trainworx, so if anyone would like to volunteer to move to Concord, NC and help with this endeavor, I do have a big shop you can work in for a pittance?
Because of the time and attention to detail it takes to create these lists, this is why we have given you access to the entire service parts database, so you can at least have a shot to find what you are looking for if an exploded view list does not exist.
REMEMBER THIS: If the part name is NOT in all CAPS then I have not touched it. If it is in all CAPS I have renamed it and the part will appear in inventory once it has been photographed and put into a valid physical location in Elkridge. If it is a Capital first letter and all lower case (for the part name) I have not come across it yet (meaning it has not started its "life" in the new system; Part Number verification, New descriptive part name, photo, price, qty on hand and physical location). This all takes time, the end result is parts in stock that YOU can find and order. And yes, I (Mike Reagan) am 30 years late to the party. (At least I have 10 years experience in doing this successfully in another life......)
Have patience and be happy its being created/cataloged/updated after 30 years.
I am working feverishly on this project (have been for the last 16 months) the site is not done, far from it. New parts are being added every week, new lists are being created every week. The Premier Big Boy list is done, but the parts are mostly showing out of stock, as they are here in NC awaiting photographs of individual parts, then hauled back up to Elkridge to be put away. Which is why the wish list system has been implemented.
As for traction tires; They are $1.50 each, 50 packs are $75.00 and 5-packs are $7.50. Multi-packs are $1.50 x the qty. (the multi packs really just save us time counting out 25 or 50 pcs!)
After all, it costs money to organize all this stuff and create a website from the ground up!
