I am a newbie to this forum so this may have been answered. Who is servicing LGB for parts and service. I live in Southern California. I never thought LGB would go under! I always considered it to be the premier Garden Train equipment./DesktopModules/NTForums/themes/mls/emoticons/blush.gif

There doesn't seem to be any source anymore. You can find parts on ebay, and some retailers still have some parts, I think Silvergate distributors has an inventory of parts but I might be wrong. I have been able to find parts like traction tires and carbon brushes and gears but it's been a bit of a struggle

For some reason posts about LGB tend to get kind of...snarky. I'm not sure why, as I'm a newbie to this hobby.

Tom,

LGB has been purchased by Marklin. Some european product is once again being produced. I am not sure about US availability.

As an owner of several LGB locomotives, I do hope that parts for the Mogul and Mikado are available in the future. My Moguls haven't turned a wheel all summer. The mikado sees infrequent use. I tend to run my USA and Ariso locos these days for the simple fact that when they break down, I know I will be able to get parts, eventually.

I had the sound/decoder/smoke units in my LGB Mikado serviced by Massoth. They are the original manufacturers of most of the electronics for LGB. They can be found at http://www.massoth.com. Call them and talk to Klaus.

You should still be able to get parts at Watts train shop, they have a fairly decent size parts inventory. they should be able to hook you up......

The above URL indicates by e-mail to me that they have some LGB parts and will repair LGB engines, just send them in.

Contact Hans at Gold Coast Station. He must have the largest supply of LGB stock in the US.
