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 410-381-2580.
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.

not cover damages caused by improper care, handling, or use. Transportation costs incurred by the
customer are not covered under this warranty.
Items sent for repair must be accompanied by a return authorization number, a description of the
problem, and

which gives the date of purchase. If you are sending this product to an Authorized Service Center,
contact that Center for their return authorization.
