MTHTrains RailKing 8-piece Elevated Trestle User manual

The 8-piece Elevated Trestle consists
of 8 piers, pier bases and track holders - each
pier raises your track 6 1/2 inches above a
®
crossing track section below. Each Lionel
®
FasTrack section simply slides into the track
holder. No track mounting screws are
necessary to attach track to the piers. Now
®
you may add verticality to your Lionel
®
FasTrack layout as easily as with other trestle
systems.

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.mthtrains.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 [e-mail], or call 410 381-2580.

item's detail page “shipping date field” on the M.T.H. website (www.mthtrains.com). This warranty does 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 a
copy of the original sales receipt from an M.T.H. Authorized Retailer, which gives the date of purchase. If
you are sending this product to an Authorized Service Center, contact that Center for their return authorization.

questions regarding the warranty may be forwarded to M.T.H. Directly.
* Authorized Service Centers (ASC) are only obligated to provide warranty service for any consumer who has
purchased the specific M.T.H. item from them that requires service work.
