LIMITED WARRANTY
We will do our best to solve any problems or issues that you may have with your
F59PH locomotive. If your locomotive has any defects that originate from the factory,
we will repair your locomotive using new components or replace it outright should
a repair not be possible. However, we can only replace your locomotive while we
have additional ones in stock. While we would love to have an infinite supply of
spare parts and do our best to keep as many on hand as possible, eventually these
will run out too. In some cases, future productions of the same locomotive may result
in a parts supply being restocked, but that is not always guaranteed. If you are like
most of us and – after purchasing this locomotive – you put it on the collection shelf
under the darkest corner of your layout and are now just discovering it 30 years
later after your friend at the club ran theirs, then you are on your own if there are
any issues.
There are several things that this warranty cannot cover. If your F59PH arrives with
a couple of loose grab irons or underbody bits, there is a very good chance that
you can affect a repair in less time and effort than it would take to contact us. Don’t
be afraid to do some model railroading! White glue works wonders for securing all
sorts of parts and will not mar or damage your paint. However, if parts are missing
that is another story – contact us directly through our website or give us a call and
we’ll send you some replacements.
If catastrophe does strike – even as the result of your own actions (or possible
inactions) – and your locomotive gets damaged, please give us a shout and we’ll
do our best to help you out if possible. Don’t be shy.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The F59PH project was a labour of love for Canadian passenger power. It is yet
another one of those locomotives that seems to have been glossed over for far too
long, so we took it upon ourselves to finally give it its proper due. Of course, to do
so means that we must call upon some experts for their input.
Without the help of the following, none of this could have been possible: Mike
Armstrong, Thomas Blampied, Jay Brooks, Dan Dell’Unto, Chris Fox, Brandan
Frisina, Stephan Gardner, Manny Jacob, Richard Longpre, Jakob Mueller, and
David Vincent.
