Trainz has purchased the inventory of screws, bolts, springs, rivets, and fasteners from L&L Model Train Restoration Co. (Len Carparelli). The business, known as the Ted Nyerges Bolt & Screw Company, offers a line of fasteners for postwar Lionel trains.

Trainz plans to increase the availability of screws, fasteners and other small parts at Trainz.com. To aid in finding the right part, they’ve produced over 420 exploded view parts diagrams. These diagrams help the customer quickly find and locate a replacement part.

Trainz has also purchased the existing American Flyer reproduction parts inventory, originally manufactured by Rick and Vi Stillmank, from Ron Stanczyk. Trainz will be adding more than 500 parts to its website in the coming months.
