Does anyone have a source for Williams parts? Williams themselves seem to be out of everything or won’t sell some items, they are very tight with their selling of parts. It would be a great help if anyone knows a place to get parts. The two fulle tanks on my F-7’s fell off due to the screw holes being split at the factory. This is not covered by their warranty.

Have you tried www.ma&pajunction.com ? Marty at Ma & Pa Junction may know where to get parts, as he is a Williams dealer.
Another thing to try is using a product called Squadron green putty, you fill the screw hole with it and then put the fuel tank back into place with the original screw. I have used green putty to hold on cow/catchers on Lionel steam engines. Or you can try a hot glue gun and glue the fuel tank back in place. Williams doesn’t sell many parts!!
Thanks, Yeah they give you a parts sheet with every locomotive but you can’t buy most of the parts?
Basically all you can buy from WBB is upgrade kits for the non-motorized units, or replacement circuit boards. Maybe a replacement windshield for certain model diesels. Also noticed that WBB has gone from 190 repair parts down to 142 parts for O gauge units, does this mean they finally cancelled duplicate listings?
marty ( ma&pajunction ) web site has been down about 3 months now last I heard he went into the hospital for something and he wasn’t at the last york train show which he always went to.
Now the good news this guy has a lot of williams parts ( old williams) you may give him a try

I am sure I could fix that fuel tank. Try JB Weld and you can file,drill, and grind that stuff.
