Any one ever order parts from this place?


They got American Flyer parts & Lionel too.
They got AF diagrams but no Lionel diagrams.

Ed,
Yes. I had to rebuild my American Flyer Northern and ordered parts such as brushes, springs, and an armature. I also ordered a repair manual.

They bought up AC Gilbert's parts inventory. They now have both ACG new old stock and reproduction parts. The site is also a good resource for wiring old locomotives.

Check the left side of the page under "Browse website by category," 4th down "Order Lionel Parts." You're right, I don't think they have Lionel diagrams.

I was aware of them, Ed, but never tried them. Thanks for confirming them as a good source, Rich.

RFGCO also looks like a good source but I have never ordered anything from them.

RFG is a very reputable company. Another is Portline. I've ordered from both: shipping costs are pretty high, but they are reputable and know their stuff. Stillakid highly recommends Joe's Train Repair out of Rougemont, NC.

And I'll put in a pitch for Jeff Kane at the Train Tender for Lionel parts. I've had EXCELLENT help and service from him, with very fair prices (including shipping).

Yeah, I'll second TJ's motion for Jeff Kane.

Excellent service, great communication, and fast shipping. I will be doing business with him again:thumbsup:
