Service & Warranty Information

How to Get Service Under the Terms of the Limited One-Year Warranty

When you suspect an item is defective, please check the operator's manual for standard 
operation and trouble-shooting techniques that may correct the problem.  Additional 
information may be found on the M.T.H. Website.  Should you still require service, follow 
the instructions below to obtain warranty service.

First, e-mail, write, call or fax a M.T.H. Authorized Service Center (ASC) in your area to obtain Repair 

Authorization.  You can find the list of ASCs on the M.T.H. Website, www.mth-railking.com.  Authorized Service 

Centers are required to make warranty repairs on items sold 

only

 from that store; all other repairs may-- or may not 

be done at the store's own discretion.  If you did not purchase the item directly from the ASC, you will need to 

select a National Authorized Service Center (NASC).  These centers are compensated by M.T.H. to perform 

warranty service for any customer whose repair qualifies for warranty service.  A list of NASC retailers can be 

located on the M.T.H. Website or by calling 1-888-640-3700.  Should the warranty no longer apply, you may 

choose either an ASC or NASC retailer to service your M.T.H. Product.  A reasonable service fee will be charged.

CAUTION:  Make sure the product is packed in its original factory packaging including its foam and plastic 

wrapping material to prevent damage to the merchandise.  There is no need to return the entire set if only one of 

the components is in need of repair 

unless otherwise instructed by the Service Center

.  

The shipment must be 

prepaid and we recommend that it be insured. A cover letter including your name, address, daytime phone 

number, e-mail address (if available), Return Authorization number (if required by the service center, a copy of 

your sales receipt and a full description of the problem must be included to facilitate the repairs.  Please include 

the description regardless of whether you discussed the problem with a service technician when contacting the 

Service Center for your Return Authorization.

Please make sure you have followed the instructions carefully before returning any merchandise for service.  

Authorized M.T.H. Service Centers are independently owned and operated and are not agents or representatives of 

M.T.H. Electric Trains.  M.T.H. assumes no responsibility, financial or otherwise, for material left in their 

possession, or work done, by privately owned M.T.H. Authorized Service Centers.

If you need assistance at any time email MTH Service at 

, or call 410 381-2580.
