I am having a problem getting spare parts for my K-Line Little Boy. Lionel
tell me to go to the K-Line dealers, the dealers tell me to go to Lionel.
Anybody know if there is a parts supplier that has stock? I need the
following for a K3790-4015S ,
1 only Roller pick-up Assembly. 1 only Roller Pick-up Insulation moulding. 1
only Roller Pick-up Mounting Screw.
Thanks, Kevin

The dealers your talking to apparently paid no attention to
Lionel's announcement regarding their deal with Sanda Kan to
market the "K-Line by Lionel" products.

It was made very clear, a) there would be no warranty support for
pre-takeover products, b) there would be no parts support for
pre-takeover products by Lionel, and c) for at least the next
year, the only parts available for "K-Line by Lionel" products
would be for warranty repairs, not general sale to the public.

The only parts available for pre-takeover products are whatever
dealers and repair shops had on hand at the time of the takeover.
Once they're gone, they're gone, unless someone starts making
repro parts.
