Hello, regarding early MTH locomotives with model number “MT” (such as MT-1103), is there any concern that parts are not available for these locomotives if a repair needs to be made? (Relatively speaking, compared to model numbers that begin with 20 or 30? Trying to figured out if getting one for a very good price won’t be worth it in the long run if no parts/limited parts. Thanks for any insights.
This is the current website for MTH parts. I don’t know how far back it goes, I haven’t gotten into into it in any great depth (haven’t needed to) but hopefully you’ll find the information you need.
Good luck!

A number of the early MTH locomotives were rolled into the RailKing line. Try searching the parts database with generic terms like “hudson”, 2-6-0 or Alco and see if a diagram shows up with parts similar to what you’re looking for. MTH used to sell parts catalogs but they stopped updating them years ago when net capabilities got better.
