True, poor customer service, and I did find out that this would not be covered by a warranty due to the date of release when I got home. My point was that MTH had a warranty that covered newly purchased locos from authorized MTH dealers for 5 years from release date. Now that they don't have the same Warranty policy, that is a concern I have.
