Locomotive Rebuilt

 

What We Mean When We Say...

 
Merrilees has a terminology when we offer used parts and items of equipment which are sold under different conditions. In order to avoid confusion please note the various wordings we use in our listings and offers.


 

(a) AS IS, WHERE IS.

This is our bargain category and indeed can provide real savings to the astute buyer. The item(s) may not be in a condition to warrant us to consider bringing them to our home bases to work on them and indeed, might be located in a location close to you, but distant from us.

(b) GOOD RUNNING OR USABLE CONDITION.

Often, we come across good equipment or parts that we consider the items to be suitable to use "as is". While there is a good opportunity in these items for many applications, we cannot provide warranties or guarantees to cover them.

(c) PARTIALLY REBUILT

This means that we have examined the piece of equipment or part to thoroughly assess its total condition. Our experts have then rebuilt the item to the extent of repair or replacement that their experience tells them is required, which includes all major wearing parts. Warranty is available on "Partially Rebuilts"

(d) TOTALLY REBUILT.

This is our "Good-as-new" category. The equipment is totally rebuilt to exacting tolerances with all the experience of our expert technicians, electricians and engineers. As many new or remanufactured parts are installed as are required to bring the unit to its "Good-as-new" potential.

 
*Items (c) and (d) can be supplied with a warranty, if requested. Where diesel engines are involved, we request that monthly crank-case oil samples be submitted to us. Return to term (c).
 
     

 

For Lease, For Purchase and Searches

 
Merrilees normally keeps on hand between 15 and
25 locomotives and between 3 - 5 trackmobiles at
all times. Sizes range from 25 to 130 tons of various types, makes, models and states of condition.
And, of course, if we don't have exactly what
you're looking for, we can very possibly still fill the
bill through our very experienced team of searchers.
