Wagner Car Co. O Gauge Trolley Parts Catalogue


Catalogues for Wagner Car parts were published less frequently than the trucks. The modeler had to rely on reading "Trolley Talk" for updates on parts. Rich Wagner worked closely with Ken Kidder to have underbody and other parts available as a new brass model was imported.

The catalogue reproduced here was dated "3/1/73". Additional sheets were inserted to bring the modeler up-to-date on new parts. The original 8 page catalogue is presented here along with the additional inserts.












The 1st insert sheet is dated "12/1/82".  All the "sheets" are shown front and back.

The next sheet was undated.


The following sheet is dated "Delivery as of May-1983 About 9 weeks".


This sheet listing all the parts was dated "July 1, 1989".



This sheet was not dated. However, it has a note in the margin stating, "Delivery: any truck is about 18 weeks.+".


Finally a sheet with Current Line Models parts was in the file with the Wagner catalogues.



The next Post will be the Wagner "Trolley Talk Publications".

Cheers,
Ed

  1. Hi, I just purchased an assortment of Wagner Parts including a controller. Were there instructions for assembly for the Controllers? Thanks, Charles
