Trumpeter has just launched a Part Replacement Service, which can be used to order individual sprues.
The new service is accessible here:

http://part.trumpeterkit.com/

For a test I tried searching 05553 and takes you to a list of sprues that you can order through Aliexpress.

They are still adding items to the database so not models are currently available.

It is good to have now a straightforward way to order a replacement if you need additional sprues of a kit for any reason

First, great Idea, this will help us modellers a great deal and promote service with the kit makers. This might be a first step, and that's exciting.

I was curious so I pulled up the BR-57 kits (since you really need another tender to do a proper train) and the only parts available right now are the body panels. You can't get the frame, wheels or running gear. I may have to check back later and see if they expand the options.

I tried it, no success for part C-30 for model 02348 when I said so, they answered with a link to Aliexpress.com and guess what, didn't find them there either.
