I have about 30 different Tyco diesel locomotives from the brown box era. Some have not run in many years; some are brand new in their original boxes & have never run at all. Where can I get Tyco engine brushes & springs, or what is a good suitable substitute for genuine Tyco parts? Locos are a variety of GP-20s, Baldwin sharknoses, Alco 430s, Alco Super 630s, GG-1s, SD-24s, E7As, F-7As, as well as a Southern 0-8-0, a General, etc. Thank you!

| Try Bowser trains as they have a Mantua parts list on their website.

| Thanks for the info-Bowser shows parts for the MU-2, but what I need is brushes & springs for a Power Torque. I bought some Bachmann brushes & springs at a train store with a really good & knowledgable service department (Mizell Trains in Denver, Colorado) that I may be able to adapt, but if anyone knows where some genuine Tyco parts are I'll make it worth their while...

From what I understand, no one makes Tyco replacement parts
I wish they would, I need brushes and springs as well

| I'm actually playing around with some Tyco AFX style race car brushes & springs as well-I'll post it if I have any success.
