About Us

Turner Locomotive & Components, LLC has been setting the standard in the locomotive industry since 1994 with quality service, reputable staff and outstanding results. Located in the city of Des Moines, Iowa, TLC has traveled to many cities and states to offer services and advice on how to troubleshoot and repair a vast number of locomotives. The list of locomotive models we work on is long, but regardless of model or type, every locomotive will get the utmost attention and professionalism when being serviced. In addition to strictly servicing locomotives, TLC also sells new, re-built, re-conditioned, RTO’s, and core locomotives. Regardless of the history of the locomotive, we won’t sell it unless it is in reliable working condition and meets every standard of the railroad industry.

In addition, we also carry many locomotive components in different model styles; the list of what we offer is constantly changing. To see the parts we currently have available, please click here.

The owner of Turner Locomotive & Components, LLC, Martin Turner, has been a machinist since 1975 and in the rail industry since 1979.
