The first step in ordering repair parts is determining the correct part numbers so you can identify and order the replacement parts you need.
To make it easy to order the correct parts for your needs we have spent countless hours researching the correct original Lionel or American Flyer part number for each part we list. These are the same part numbers that you will find on the "exploded view" for the piece you are repairing. Just consult the appropriate REPAIR MANUAL that contains the "exploded view" for the item that you are repairing.
If you are repairing a Steam or Diesel Locomotive these ONLINE PARTS DIAGRAMS & PARTS LISTS will allow you to identify the correct part numbers and order the replacement parts you need right on our website. This information, also published in our AF LOCO REPAIR BOOK more specifically address the variations between various engine models than in previous repair and service manuals.
The second step in ordering repair parts is reviewing our repair parts list to determine if the part you need to repair your train is still available. We list over 2,500 repair parts for postwar American Flyer S gauge and trains and accessories.
If you would like to review our list of American Flyer parts to help select the parts you want to use the links at the bottom to quickly to jump to any page in the parts listing. Once you've located the part(s) you want click the "ORDER" button and enter the quantity you wish to order on the next page. After confirmation of amount ordered, click continue order button to return to the parts list page.
The final step is to submit your order. When you are ready to complete your order you can choose to:
To give you the most complete parts selection in our catalog we list all the available original and reproduction ( indicated by an @ following the part number ) American flyer and Lionel train repair parts. This listing is in numeric order using the original manufacture's part number. Where the manufacturer never issued a part number or the part number is unknown the parts will be listed at the end of the parts list by the producer's part number. Note that not all parts identified in the exploded views are available today. To save you the most on you repair costs we list wholesale quantify prices along with retail unit prices on those parts that we can provide in quantify.
To provide the best service we constantly locate new sources and use computerized inventory controls to maintain as complete an inventory as is possible. Please understand that at any given time some parts that we list as may be noted as temporally out of stock. It is frustrating, but the supply of repair parts is often uncertain. Many reproduction parts are made by very small shops with no regular production schedules. Even Lionel, the major producer of parts is often only able to fill 1/3 to 1/2 of the parts ordered. Given these " facts of the repairman's life" to provide you with the best service to meet your repair needs, we ask you to please use the special instructions section of the order form to notify us as to which back order option you would prefer when a part you requested is temporarily out of stock.
Use special instructions section of the on line order form to inform us as to which option you prefer.
Buy with confidence from TRAIN REPAIR PARTS because you can rely on the expertise we've developed through three generations of serving hobbyists with interests and needs like yours. PLUS everything you order is backed by our GUARANTEE OF 100% SATISFACTION
The most efficient way to order parts is by entering the part number into the part number / stock number field. The part number must be complete and correct. Enter the number 0 not the letter O as part of the number. Reproduction part numbers are followed by a "@" this must be entered as part of the number.
If the part number that you enter does not exactly match the correct part number in our database (manufacture's part numbers) the part you are looking for may not be displayed.
However, partial matches will work in the part number field; all part numbers containing the digits you enter will be returned.
You can search by category: American Flyer Repair Parts or Lionel Repair Parts. But the listing produced will not be sorted in a very useful order and will only display the 2-3,000 parts selected 10 per page. You may order directly from these pages.
Searching by part name (or partial name) and by category: will give you pretty good results. For example, if you select the American Flyer Repair Part Category and enter: Smoke Unit in the product name field 12 Flyer parts will be listed. Review the list, select the ones you want, and add the quantities you need to your order. NOTE: KEY WORDS AND PARTIAL MATCHES WILL PRODUCE RESULTS WITH THE PRODUCT NAME FIELD.
Unfortunately it is generally not possible to search by the engine, car or accessory name (or item number) that you need parts for (that why the exploded views discussed above are so essential.)
