Last Monday 14 September I ordered from MTH thru Midge 4 MTH Remote Thumb Wheel Cradle and 1 Thumbwheel assembly. I received the parts today so i am not sure what issues folks are having with MTH but order on Monday and receive on Thursday that is pretty good service. Now it could be the parts I ordered and that they were in stock. But 4 day turn around pretty good.

Just called.  The thumb wheel itself was out of stock (word travels fast, I guess - maybe John got all the ones he needed for backlogged repairs ), but I was able to order some cradles.

I'm surprised they had thumbwheels at all, maybe the word does get around.  I actually got my supply of thumbwheels months ago when I heard they would not be available soon.

Hope the supplies keep coming ..........but it sure seems like someone should be getting the message !  🙄

Guys did I create a run on thumb wheels or upset anyone. I did not mean to start any problems or hard feelings just wanted to comment on the great service I got from MTH on a parts order after so many folks complained about not getting any parts. 

Not upset here either, I appreciated the heads up! 

Only posted to update the current availability based on my experience.

Even though I hadn't really prepared a proper list (I was originally only intending to jump on the remote thumb wheel parts since I saw this thread a couple of days ago), Midge was also able to help me with some traction tires.  So I bought some for subway sets and some diesels.  I think she said there were only 2 sizes they were currently out of that match a few steam engines, but it sounded like they would be getting more in.  So it sounds like most sizes are available at the moment.

You knew when this got posted that unless MTH rationed them out they'd all be hoarded and gone right?😉 Would have been better to have those of us that need them pay in advance and produce to order?

Thanks Rick.

Don't know how this will play out but it sure was great to have you throw a ray of sunshine our way with some good news about some supply chain from MTH. 😎
