There were quite a few Built to Order units offered in the last catalog.I was tempted by a lot of them. Here is my question; If Lionel receives 1000 pre-orders for a given locomotive, how many out of that 1000 will have some sort of problem? Five? ten? 243? I wish someone from Lionel would weigh in and talk about how big the problem is (or is not) and what is being done to solve it. If we got some straight talk, that would go a long way toward calming the masses, so to speak.

If it's five or ten, I need to start buying a lot more lottery tickets!

I'm sure revealing what you describe would be a fire-able offense (probably considered proprietary, competition sensitive, etc....), so I would not count on ever seeing such details openly shared with consumers. (for any business, not just Lionel)
