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 M.T.H. Electric Trains or 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) or contact M.T.H. Electric Trains
directly. NASC Dealers 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 ser[email protected], or call 410 381-2580.

The passenger platform adds a splash of life to your layout. Constructed
from sturdy ABS plastic and brightly painted, the passenger platform is a
perfect addition to any O-27 or O Gauge layout.
The passenger platform is pre assembled, so set up is quick and easy by
following the setup diagram on the inside.
Passenger Platform
PLEASE READ BEFORE USE AND SAVE
www.mthtrains.com

The RailKing Passenger Platforms can be used alone, or combined with other passenger platforms (as seen
below). Before the platform is placed on the layout, each platform (which contain pre-wired operating lamps)
must be wired together and attached to one another.
In order to connect power to each platform, the (2) enclosed wires must be connected to the wiring posts
located on the underside of each platform. Once the wires are attached to each platform, the (4) locking clips
should be pressed and snapped onto the roof and base bolsters where the platforms’ roofs and bases meet.
Follow the diagram to locate the correct wire post terminals for the wire harnesses and the bolster points
where the locking clips should be snapped into place.
