I recently acquired a DCC Ready Spectrum USRA Heavy Mountain used with some minor problems with multiwire plugs, which brings me to my question: is it possible to get one each of the four wire multi-wire plug, and one of the two wire multi-wire plug assemblies to allow me to handle the repairs myself? 

Thanks for your assistance on this matter,

Thomas J Pearce

While I know the Spectrum Heavyweight cars are currently out of production, are parts still available if needed or desired?

Thanks in advance,

I see that since the last time I have been on this board (about 3 years ago or better now) a lot of changes have taken place, which is leading me to my question:

I have a Spectrum 2-8-0 Consolidation (1998 Run) which has seen some better days. The Multi-wire plugs failed a while ago, the bolster that locks the body, drive train, and tender together cracked off, allowing the engine to not mesh properly, along with worn out contacts underneath the loco end of it. I did make a light attempt at trying to keep it running to the best of my abilities.

How does one go about sending the model in for maintenance (In this case using the Spectrum Lifetime warranty) to have repairs or replacement exercised?

I saw the part about the $20 fee that gets sent, but was unsure what else I need to do. Thanks in advance
