Parts for your Train

The Allan Herschell Company in North Tonawanda New York is one of only a handful of parts suppliers for Miniature Train Company parts, although they DO NOT deal in Wisconsin Engine parts.  You can also order an "Operations Manual and Parts Catalog" from them.  This two volume set will be of great value when it comes time to take apart the trucks on your train, or figure out a maintenance schedule, or try to find part numbers of pieces you need.  It's filled with technical drawings of everything from the fluid clutch, to the inside worm gear assembly, to measurements for a cover for your train.  It also includes information on laying track properly and original paint color numbers, I think I paid between $150.00 - $180.00 including shipping.

It should be noted however that they don't have every part you may need.  As one train owner told me if you have to go have a piece manufactured at a local machine shop and if it's a mechanical piece do not tell them it's for an amusement ride.  Machine shops will often shy away from doing such work because of liability that could be passed along to them if the part is ever found to have failed and contributed to an injury of an employee or rider.
