Obtaining a Parts List by Mail
You say you need a brass worm wheel or a ballast tamper antenna? Then
you need Dr. Tinker®'s Parts List, updated bi-monthly, free to active, regular customers,
over 1800 of the most needed parts and materials for the repair and restoration of your
trains. Parts listed are new, used, reconditioned, and reproduction, depending upon
availability at the time of the request.
We use original Lionel Production part numbers. When
ordering, use the numbers shown in your Lionel Service Manual, Greenberg's
Repair & Operating Manual, Modern Era Diagrams, or the K-Line/Lionel
Service Manual.
Examine the car's engine or accessory that you want to
repair for the item number. The key to getting the part you need lies in the
way you order. Try to determine the complete part number of the part if
possible. The first three or four digit number identifies the assembled
product. The number that comes after the dash describes the exact part that
you will be looking for. The assembly drawings shown in the service station
sheets reproduced in the Repair Manuals show the part and approximately how it
is assembled to the product. The part numbers are usually found under the
drawing of the piece and a word description is also located there to help you
when ordering. Going through this process will help you understand how to
proceed with the repair in many cases. Then look up the part number on our
parts list for the price of the part. You won't always find exactly what you
seek. Some items are simply not available.
If you need help, call or send an email inquiry.
