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 [email protected]
or call 410 381-2580.
